O In a democracy, people elect their leaders, while in a dictatorship they only elect representatives.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

In a democracy, people have a say in government, while in a dictatorship they do not.

This option accurately reflects the fundamental difference between the two systems: democracies involve the participation of citizens in decision-making processes, whereas dictatorships concentrate power in the hands of a single leader or a small group, limiting public input.
