Explanation:

An authoritarian dictatorship is a form of government where the leader has absolute power. Citizens have very few or no civil liberties or rights. Dictatorships often resort to force or fraud to gain political power, maintain power through intimidation and terror, suppress basic civil liberties, and use mass propaganda to keep public support. In contrast, democratic forms of government (like confederal parliamentary democracy, federal representative democracy, unitary parliamentary democracy) are based on the participation of the people, protection of civil liberties, and rule of law. Federal systems are about the distribution of power between central and regional governments. Republics are a form of government where power is held by the people and their elected representatives.

Authoritarian dictatorship (for the first question) and Dictatorship (for the second question)
