An enlightened despot was a ruler who?
Supposedly an enlightened despot was a monarch who tried to adapt modern ideas into their rule. But, the term enlightened despot is highly contradictory because enlightened indicated modernization of ideas and change, whereas despot carries the denotation of clinging to tradition and the past. So, essentially the monarchs called themselves enlightened despots to gain public appeal, but they were not enlightened despots- it's impossible to be one. That's be like being a carnivorous vegetarian; laughably impossible.

Compare the position of dictator in this Livy's account with present-day dictators?
The dictator was an extraordinary officer of state during the Republic. He was appointed by senatorial decree with a very specific mandate (rei gerundae causa: for the matter to be done) as the sole head of state (normally there were two annually elected consuls as joint heads of state) for a term of six months in times of emergency. His authority was absolute and went beyond that of ordinary officers of state. Usually the emergency was war when there was a need for a sole military commander (normally the army was commanded jointly the two consuls) or to appoint a man with better strategy and leadership skills.
All ordinary officers of state were subject to the dictator and he could dismiss them if they disobeyed. He was granted the power to rule by decree and change laws or introduce new ones without the usual ratification by the assemblies of the people. He could act without consulting the senate, though he us usually did.
He had the power to punish without trial by the assembly of the people (the normal procedure) and there was no right to appeal his sentences (the right to appeal was suspended). He was immune from accountability and his actions were not held to account at the end of his office (ordinary officers of state could be prosecuted after their term). A great source of power for the dictator was the fact that he ruled on his own - normally the two consuls who could veto each other.
The office of the dictator was used strictly for emergencies and he was given only six months to deal with them. This was to prevent him from trying to seek absolute power permanently. Usually dictators resigned as soon as the job in their mandate was finished and often this occurred before the six month had elapsed. Only two men held the dictatorship for longer than six months: Sulla and Julius Caesar. Another limitation to his power was that he did not have control over the treasury.
The term dictator did not have a negative connotation until Sulla used his dictatorship (81 BC) to execute the people who had opposed him in his civil war with Gaius Marius. After Rome's expansion into Italy, apart from three exceptions (one in the First Punic War and two during the Second Punic War), dictators were no longer appointed. This was because wars were fought far from Rome and it was feared that a man with such great powers could become dangerous if he was far from Rome.

What conditions in Europe helped give rise to the rule of dictator?
When you say Europe, I'm suspecting your talking just about Germany. Hitler became pretty much the dictator of Germany due to Germany's bad economy and other problems it had after World War I. Hitler, with his great speeches, managed to gain large amounts of support and he soon enough he got the National Socialist Party, or the Nazis, into power. As such he quickly turned Germany into a military juggernaut and turned Germany around. Because of these things Hitler ended up being the Fuhrer or dictator of Germany with large amounts of support.
Who was the first Roman dictator during the republic?
Titus Larcius Flavus was the first dictator; circa 510 BCE. If you thought the answer was Gaius Julius Caesar ... he was the last formal dictator appointed to that specific role by the Senate.
My sources say that in 496 BC Aulus Postumius was appointed as the Roman Republic's first dictator. This was done to consolidate power in one man's hands for defeating a group of latin city-states that were waring on Rome. Rome won this war near lake Regillus. We seem to have a small discrepancy here among the "whom" although the year is fairly close. I'll check other sources and I'm sure an agreement shall be made.
Greetings to ancient Roman history people. My source on Aulus Postumis starts with American scholar Will Durant of Columbia University. I was not totally satisfied so I went to more source material. The Roman historian Livy of the late Republic era cites only Aulus as the first dictator. He draws on an early Roman Republic historian Fabius Pictor.

What country is controlled by dictarship?
We can not answer you question because we do not know what a "dictarship" is, this is not an English word.
Understand this first: when someone commits a felony, before that person can be brought to trial, an indictment must be obtained by the prosecuting attorney. This means that the prosecutor must present his or her evidence to a grand jury; the grand jury will decide whether or not there is sufficient evidence to warrant an indictment.
An impeachment, in a sense, is just like an indictment. In fact, an impeachment is the bringing of charges against an elected or public official by the House of Representatives. Therefore, the House chamber of Congress acts as a grand jury in this situation and the impeachment is just like an indictment.
Many people think that impeachment is the arrest, conviction, or overthrowing of an official's office. This is untrue. In fact, two-thirds of the House must vote for the impeachment in order for it to take affect. Moreover, if the impeachment makes it, the official to whom charges are brought against still has the right to a trial. The impeachment alone means nothing. After obtaining an impeachment, The Senate chamber of Congress has to try the official.
The prime example of this is the case of former President Bill Clinton. Clinton was impeached, but he was never convicted during the trial phase. In fact, there have been two Presidents impeached (i.e. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton), butnone have been convicted. Many people think that Richard Nixon was impeached; this is untrue. Nixon resigned before the impeachment was carried out.
To answer the second part of your question, adding a clause concearning impeachment to the U.S. Constitution was the framers' way of saying, "No persons, elected officials included, are above the law." It is just that and nothing more.
Utopia, by Sir Thomas More, represented a Renaissance movement
