Sentence 2.
Explanation: "autocracy" = rule by one (auto = self, -cracy = rule), so when a leader consolidates all power for his own use, the country becomes an autocracy. The other sentences misuse the roots: a sole decision-maker is not "democratic" (sentence 1), a queen ruling with no interference is not a "democracy" (sentence 3), and an "autocratic" government would not typically be praised for implementing citizens' suggestions (sentence 4).
