Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Authoritarian governments exercise unlimited power, while democratic governments are run by the will of the people and feature regular elections. Some governments have traits of both styles. Historically, the majority of governments were authoritarian. Ruled by a monarch, despot or dictation, these governments had virtually unlimited power.
