Answer:
Authoritarianism is not a form of government. It is a style of rule that is focused on keeping power in the hands of a few and an intolerance of opposition. Authoritarianism is sometimes a step in transitioning to a democracy – many nations slowly began to take away power from an powerful executive and give it to the legislative branch. Elections are held in this system, but are sometimes viewed as fraudulent by international observers (ballot box stuffing, not allowing all candidates to run, etc.). The former Soviet republics Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have this type of rule.
