Answer 2

Authoritarianism is the politics of having all the power for your self and ruling with an iron fist. It's what dictators do. An authoritarian government rules all aspects of legislature and the justice system and often oppresses the people and silences political opponents. Authoritarian governments are rarely positive since they are rarely democratic and they eventually turn into oppressive regimes.
