Answer:

Differences between a constitutional government and a non-constitutional government

Constitutional government

  • There is the existence of a written document showing the laws, rights, and policies of the government
  • Its powers are limited because they do not have absolute power
  • There exist checks and balances in the government in the form of the judiciary, legislature, and executive which all act as checks and balances.
  • The government is responsible to the people

Characteristics of a non-constitutional government

  • There is the existence of a dictator
  • The dictator has unlimited power
  • There are no checks and balances as the dictator can do whatever he likes
  • He is responsible to no one, except himself.
