How would living in a dictatorship be different from living in a democracy?

Answer 1

A Dictatorship is a country, government, or the form of government in which absolute power is exercised by one person. A democracy is basically power to the people. In a Dictatorship one person rules all but in a democracy people rule the people.

Answer 2

Life may be different if people live in a world of dictatorship instead of democracy.

First off, I need to define what these two words, "democracy" and "dictatorship" means, in order to understand the concept of the question. Now, democracy means that every person in the United States have the right to vote. (Including those who immigrated from many different countries) From the Declaration of Independence, it specifically quoted, "All men are created equal." This means everyone has the power to have equality, the power to vote for a certain president, etc. Now, the definition of dictatorship is to have only one person or a few people to have the power to vote, and to have equality. If America lived as a Republic dictatorship, some people would be equal and most of the citizens in the USA. would not have equality. (That might be unfair for many people like women, children, and the elderly,). If you look at a historical perspective, you would find out that Democracy means that all people are equal, and dictatorship means that some peoplecan be equal and many cannot. So, to conclude, Americans would probably prefer to live in a Democratic Party instead of a Republican (dictatorship) Party.

Answer 3

Life in the dictatorship was very hard. That or very easy because what you say goes. You would have no say in what you did, what you wore, or how much of an education you got (which could be googd or bad depending on your view). Take Italy in 1918-1939 for example: The dictator ( Mussolini) controled what you wore (mostly for boys), what you did (like with girls having children at a young age and boys fighting 24/7), and how much taxation was put upon you, and what you learn (like that the guy making your life misrable (dictator) was the only man that could lead your country back too greatness. So basicly life in a dictatorship SUCKS!

Answer 4

A dictatorship is a country, government, or the form of government in which absolute power is exercised by one person. A democracy is basically power to the people. In a dictatorship one person rules all but in a democracy people rule the people.

Answer 5

Generally, a dictatorship is a totalitarian state. There's no opposition. Press and media are only allowed say certain things and can't say anything bad about the dictator. There's a secret police force to arrest anyone who oppresses them. It varies, depending if the dictator is a fascist, communist, etc.

Answer 6

Well that would entirely depend on what kind of government you currently live in.
