Two of the main political systems are democracy and totalitarianism. Define in your own words. Solution Democracy can be defined as a freedom of the people in a nation to opt for whatever they want. The citizens of the country have the right to all the resources of the country. The majority of the country decides the direction and the fate of the country. In a democracy, the leaders and government are selected by the election process and it can also be removed if the public opposes the government in power. Opposite of the democracy is authoritarian and the totalitarian type of governance. In these types of governance style, the leadership of the country remains with a single individual or a group leading the entire country. These can be seen as a dictatorship. In case of a totalitarian regime, the individual who holds the power or the dictator has the influence of his charisma over the people. The citizens are attracted by his prophetic leadership which makes these citizens perform and follow the wishes and orders of the dictator. Examples:- Joseph Stalin of USSR, Benito Mussolini of Italy, and Adolf Hitler of Germany. There is a sense of connection between the citizens and the dictators and this is how the dictator is able to rule the country. A sense of ideology is mutually shared by the citizens and the totalitarian.
