The United States government is a representative democracy. How do dictatorships differ from this type of government?

Question

A.

B.
In dictatorships, many political parties are represented in the government.

C.
In dictatorships, citizens have little say in government affairs.

D.
In dictatorships, government power is limited by checks and balances.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. In dictatorships, citizens have little say in government affairs.

In a dictatorship, power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader or a small group, and citizens typically have limited or no ability to influence government decisions or participate in the political process. This contrasts with a representative democracy, where citizens have the right to vote and participate in elections to choose their leaders and express their opinions.
