Answer 1

Authoritarianism is absolute rule by one, usually a Dictator or Monarch and Democracy is rule by all or by every citizen having a say in what is done.

The difference between an authoritarian and democratic government is the power held by its leaders. In an authoritarian government, power entails suppression of the opposition and human rights. In a democratic government, on the other hand, power is spread between different institutions that act as a check and balance on each other.
