Very simple. Democracy allows, or attempts to allow, people to govern themselves and decide how they will live. Theoretically no one is above the law in a democracy. With a Dictatorship people are told what to do and how to live, and they have no say in the matter. It is possible for a dictatorship to be benevolent and a democracy to be unjust, but people will often choose democracy over dictatorship, if they have a choice.

What is an elite democracy?

An elite democracy is one in which the people do not decide on individual matters via popular vote, rather they elect representatives to decide matters in their place. It is also known as a representative democracy, and it is the system the United States and many other democracies worldwide employ. An elite democracy seeks to describe and explain the power relationships in contemporary society. It is used in political science and sociology.
