Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Authoritarianism is the form of political system whereby the leader has so much power and isn't constitutionally responsible to the people. Authoritarian leaders doesn't regard the laws that exist in the state and it's hard for to them to be replaced by another candidate in an election.

On the other hand, totalitarianism prohibits opposition parties and also have control over the life of the people as the people have no individual freedom and they're under the authority of the state.
