DICTATORSHIP

Presentation

Leonardo Martinez and Diego Elvir

What is Dictaorship
A dictatorship is a form of government characterized by
the absolute rule of one person or a very small group of
people who hold all political power. While a dictatorship
is a form of government in some nations, just as
monarchy or representative democracy is the form of
government in others, dictatorships are seen by non-
dictatorships as dangerous and cruel because of the way
they tend to treat their citizens.

Positive effects
Low crime rates.
In a dictatorship, usually, there are very strict rules
and punishment for even a small crime or violation of
the law. Such strict punishments arise threat among
people. Thus there are lower crimes as compared to
the countries which do not have a dictator form of
government.

Rapid progression
The dictators have access and control over
everything right from the economy to the laws and
the people. Hence they do not have to worry about
this field. They set their goals in which they have to
progress and develop. The absence of other concerns
helps them to achieve their goal easily.

Efficient administration
They set the rules and regulations which they think
are suitable. No one amongst the citizens dares to
object them. Because there is no consultation or
debates taking place over any issue, hence quick
actions can be taken. This makes a dictator country
always stay ahead of rival nations.
Negative effects
It leads to abuse of power. The dictator misuses his
power at the expense of the citizens.
Dictators always oppress and suppress the people.
Or even promote their own favorites and interests.
This causes inequality but no one really objects
because it would mean putting oneself in danger at
the hands of the ruling government.
Mass killings. Large numbers of innocent people are
killed. Because the people might get frustrated with
the policies of the government and this makes the
dictator consider the person ad enemies of the
government.
The population is never happy with such a
government. So it’s possible that at some point the
masses will protest and agitate against the policies of
unity and try to overthrow the government. This
dictatorship is not permanent and never sustains for
long. It somehow leads to war. At present North
Korea is the biggest example of power dictatorship
and the country is so advanced with all its
technologies and nuclear weapons that despite this
being the 21st century even if multiple countries join
hands and come along to wage war against it then
they will suffer a greater loss and does not even
ensures their victory.

3 types of Constitutional
A constitutional dictatorship is a form of

dictatorship government in which dictatorial powers

are exercised during an emergency. The
dictator is not absolute and the dictator's
authority remains limited by the
constitution. The Roman Republic made
provision for a dictator who could govern
unchecked for a stipulated period of time.

Counterrevolutionary,
A counter-revolutionary or an anti-revolutionary
is anyone who opposes a revolution, particularly
one who acts after a revolution in order to try to
overturn it or reverse its course, in full or in part.
The adjective "counter-revolutionary" pertains
to movements that would restore the state of
affairs, or the principles, that prevailed during a
prerevolutionary era.

Fascist
Fascism is a form of far-right,
authoritarian ultranationalism,
characterized by dictatorial power,
forcible suppression of opposition,
and strong regimentation of society
and the economy that rose to
prominence in early 20th-century
Europe.
Countries that were once a Democracies and now dictatorships
Foreign conquest. A dictatorship invades and conquers a Constitutional takeover. A dictatorship takes power legally, usually with at least
democracy, then either ruling it directly or imposing a dictatorial some democratic support, and within the constitution. Weimar Germany is the
government. The most obvious examples are in World War II, most famous example; Chavez’s Venezuela another, and Putin’s Russia a third.

Denmark, etc. This is actually fairly unusual; note that all of Hitler’s Turkey also arguably falls into this category; while the final step to a dictatorial

been fixed.
Internal imposition. This has been the fate of many, many
democracies. A dissatisfied faction, or a union of such dissatisfied
factions, overthrows democracy illegally and by use of force. Let
me count the ways: Pakistan, Thailand, Chile, Haiti, Greece, the
Baltic republics, Republican Spain, Egypt, Algeria, Lebanon, Iran,
the Congo, Meiji Japan . . . no, there are too many. Democracy is
one of the most fragile and unstable forms of government there is.
One of the most brilliant ideas the British nation ever invented was
the concept of “His Majesty’s loyal opposition”; that people could
be against not only the policies of the State, but even the
continued authority of the State’s chosen leaders, without meaning
ill to that abstraction called “the country.” This is a difficult concept
to master, and an easy one to lose. History is littered with
democracies that lost it, or never had it, all dead without an
external mark on their corpses.
