Question

what is the correct meaning of the word dictatorial?
the country had always had a dictatorial government.
confrontational constitutional authoritarian dominant

Explanation:

In the context of describing a government, "dictatorial" refers to a system where a single authority holds absolute, unchallenged power. "Authoritarian" directly matches this meaning, as it describes a strict, non-democratic rule with concentrated power. The other options do not fit: "confrontational" means hostile, "constitutional" relates to a governing charter, and "dominant" only means leading, not absolute rule.

Answer:

authoritarian
