Question

What promotes autocracy and democracy ?

Answer 1

Autocracy and democracy are two different types of governing systems.

In an autocracy, only one person controls the entire government who is called a dictator. As seen throughout history, autocracies are often rules by the brutal regimes.

Whereas, democracy is completely opposite of autocracy. In the democratic system, the government representative holds the seat of the office that makes decisions on behalf of its nation.

The most important difference between both of them would be their decision-making power. An autocratic leader doesn't have to consult anyone before making decisions but the democratic leader takes advice and consultation from his/her cabinet team.
