Analysis of Dictatorship
Dictatorships often occur when a nation is economically and politically
unstable.
In a system of authoritarian rule decisions are made efficiently because
very few people are involved in the decision making process.
The leader or elite group at the head of the government decides on newpolicies and economic measures, then makes sure that the public abides
by them by using tactics of force and indoctrination.
Dictatorial systems have helped nations recover from economic turmoil
many times in the past.
The extreme nationalism that is born from propaganda and governmentsponsored youth organizations encourages people to work harder for the
benefit of their country.

Newly motivated work forces easily meet their production
goals.
If the leader of a dictatorship is capable the country can rise
to hold a great amount of international power.
Building up the military is an important step to gain power. A
strong military will discourage other countries from attacking
and also discourage the citizens of the country from rebelling.
The force of nationalism, and new laws that can be easily
passed regarding education (such that every male of a certain
age must serve time in the military) allow military strength of
dictatorships to multiply.

Analysis of Democracy
Democracy is a form of government in which all
people have an equal say in the decisions that
affect their lives.
Ideally, this includes equal (and more or lessdirect) participation in the proposal,
development and passage of legislation into law.
It can also encompass social, economic andcultural conditions that enable the free and equal
practice of political self-determination.

Democracy in India
The government of India is framed according to the
Constitution. The architects of Indias constitution, though
drawing on many external sources, were most heavily
influenced by the British model of parliamentary democracy.
In addition, a number of principles were adopted fromthe United States Constitution, including the separation of
powers among the major branches of government, the
establishment of a supreme court, and albeit in modified
form, of a federal structure (a constitutional division of powerbetween the union [central] and state governments).
The new constitution took effect on 26 January 1950 and
proclaimed India a sovereign socialist secular democratic
republic

Recommendations
Democracy in modern times has almost always faced opposition from the
existing government. The implementation of a democratic government
within a non-democratic state is typically brought about by democratic
revolution.
Currently, opposition to democracy exists most notably in communist
states, and absolute monarchies which appear to have various reasons for
opposing the implementation of democracy or democratic reforms.
Economists have strongly criticized the efficiency of democracy. They base
this on their premise of the irrational voter. Their argument is that voters
are highly uninformed about many political issues, especially relating to
economics, and have a strong bias about the few issues on which they are
fairly knowledgeable.

Civil liberties were virtually non existent. Peopledid not have the freedom to develop their ownviews and ideas because they were constantlybeing indoctrinated with the ideas of thegovernment.
