Answer:

Some of the democracy vs authoritarian advantages are: Democracy: There is majority rule, so power monopoly is avoided. Also, the power ultimately lies in the hands of people. People have freedom and power of voting and choosing what they want.

I hope this helped, have an awesome day!

Answer: What are the main differences between authoritarian governments and democratic governments?

Authoritarianism is marked by submission to authority. It is the opposite of individualism, and democracy. In authoritarian government systems the political power is condensed into one authority figure or figures. Generally they assume power, and are not elected by the people.
