How does this excerpt from the declaration of independence exemplify the difference between a dictatorship and a democracy?
A. it states that all men are created equal which is true in a dictatorship but not in a democracy
B. it stats that everyone has unalienable rights which is true in a democracy but not in a dictatorship
C. it states that the creator gives people unalienable rights which is true in a democracy but not un a dictatorship
D. it states that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed which is true in a democracy but not in a dictatorship.
I am thinking it could be A, but that doesn't seem appropriate seeing as a dictatorship, is one over all, which doesn't seem like it is equal.
so is it D? please help..
