'''Authoritarianism''' is a form of government characterized by strong (usually central) power that demands obedience to authority and limited political and civil freedoms. While a multitude of different typologies has been developed by political scientists to classify authoritarian states, qualities commonly associated with authoritarian regimes include the absence of free and competitive [[File:Dem.png]] [[Democracy|democratic]] elections and one-party state, as well as censorship, and minimal power restrictions. Though sometimes authoritarianism can reside in [[File:Dem.png]] [[Democracy|democratic]] countries with free and fair elections where there's a clampdown on liberties instead as well as more emphasis on authority. |
