Best Answer

If you are being asked this on a test or homework, the answer being looked for is probably "False". The tester will believe that a Dictatorship is the authority resting upon one man, while in a democracy it rests upon the people.

But in truth, no government ever governs without at least the tacit consent of the governed. The "supreme authority" of a dictatorship thus does "rest solely with the people".

You may see the truth in this by watching how various governments "advertise". Those that are generally more free, are relatively quiet. But the worse a dictatorship it is, the more they "advertise". Which is why there's all those pictures of the Supreme Leader everywhere, and Propaganda about how many great things he's doing for his people.

He knows he needs the people to think he is doing good. Or else he'd not waste the money on those things.
