Because most countries have arranged their political institutions according to the system originally devised by Montesquieu, the so-called "Trias Politica". It was devised to prevent any ruler or group of rulers to grab absolute power in a country.

In that system, power is divided over three institutions that keep each other in check so that no single institution can rule the country unchecked.

These government powers are: the executive branch, the judicial branch and the legislative branch.

So it is the political system that safguards us from Dictatorship, at least in theory.
