They don't have limits, and that is why they are dictators. Dictators have complete control over their country.
Any means. How power is acquired is not relevant to a dictatorship. There have been dictators who gained power through the ballot : President Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines. There are some who overthrew legitimate governments by force like Zia-ul-Haq of Pakistan.
Many Latin American army leaders had gained fame and power during their long struggle for independence. And they controlled the new nations as military dictators, caudillos.

The Dictators
They hold ALL power. That is what it means to be a dictator.
They used their power to try to conquer other lands and build empires.
