How does a dictatorship differ from a democracy in terms of decision-making?

• In a dictatorship, decision-making is centralized in the hands of one individual or a small group, with little to no input from the general public. Leaders in dictatorships have unchecked power and are not held accountable to the people.
• In contrast, democracies allow citizens to participate in decision-making through elections and other democratic processes.

In a democracy, leaders are accountable to the people and must act in their interests.
