Fascism is a political ideology rather than a government. It promotes nationalistic viewpoints and where fascists obtain power in government, the result is usually an authoritarian government with an aim to reach unlimited power.

A land under complete rule of only 1. Example: Gaius Marcius Rutilus was the first dictator of Rome. Another word for dictator is: Authoritarian,Leader,Mogul,and Tyrant

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.

Cuba is such country.

It was an extended process. In the first instance the Roman Republic had a specific legal role for a 'dictator', typically one elected for a six month period and was periodically installed in times of military emergency or domestic upheaval.

The process of 'subversion' of the Republic finally resulted in an Imperial regime beginning with Octavian (Augustus) 30's BC to 14 AD - though for centuries some nominal form of a 'republic' was maintained. For many years previously populist and generals would instigate forceful regime changes which with each incident tended to undermine the stability of the Republic.

A "dictator" is a head of state who exercises arbitrary authority over the lives of his citizens and who cannot be removed from power ...while a monarchy isa king or queen who rule is country or village......eg Queen Elizabeth of England

There are special traits that are common among the dictators from various countries. They have the unique strength of personality, charm, and presence that sets them apart from the crowd. These characteristics help them win supporters over to their side.

There are no governments on earth that are pure democracies. In such a government every single person would share authority and responsibility for government, and everyone would vote on everything. It is easy to see that government would come to a standstill in any nation of more than a few dozen people. Nations that have a democratic element are those where the people have a substantial say, through a system of voting, who is representing them in the government, and where leaders are not governing for life, or because they are strong enough not to be removed from office. There are many nations that have a multi-tiered level of representation, and this is a broadly appealing and usually effective kind of government. The UK, for example, have the general voting population and the House of Commons. There is the House of Lords, and then the reigning monarch. The US Congress along with the president can be seen as roughly analogous.
In a democracy representatives that govern the people are voted in by the people through free and fair elections with multiple parties. A dictatorship has one authoritarian leader who was probably not elected and probably does not rule in the best interest of the people.

It is run by a communist party. As a rule, dictators rule alone.

The term "dictatorship" really does not tell you much about the internal organization of the power structure. Different dictatorships operate at different levels in terms of their decision-making process. The only way of decision-making that a dictatorship cannot embrace is popular suffrage (because that is a democracy).

There are some dictatorships like Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where the ruler simply expresses the law by fiat. There are some dictatorships like Vietnam, where almost all decisions are made by the Communist Party leadership in closed-door negotiations and simply vocalized by the President after the fact. There are dictatorships like Russia, where the parliament is in alliance with the President because they come from the same party and effectively rubber stamp the actions of the President, but still have the theoretical power to oppose the President's will.

The failure of the Treaty of Versailles, depression, economic problems of the populous, weak political governments and the evil agendas of the Dictators Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin were the primary factors for the rise of these dictators.

Every government has three basic kinds of power, (1) legislative power, (2) executive power and (3) judicial power. The ultimate responsibility for the exercise of these powers may be held by a single person or group of people, as in dictatorship.
