Answer 1

1. Democracy: That is when people agree to let others tell them what to do.

2. Dictatorship: That is when someone tells you what to do whether you agree or not.

3. Parties: That is when you dance and listen to good music.

Answer 2

Democracy -- any political model where the decision making power is held by the people. This includes pure democracies where everyone votes on every issue, and democratic republics where the people vote for elected officials who make the decisions.

Dictatorship -- a form of government where the ruler has absolute authority, and is not generally restricted by laws or opposition.

Parties -- an organization. In political context, parties hold political power by nominating and supporting candidates. Voters become loyal to a party, like brand loyalty for products, and tend to support whatever candidate their party nominates.

Answer 3

1. Democracy is rule by the people (either direct or by representatives). It depends on certain freedoms to actually work, however (freedom of speech, freedom from government intrusion, fair trials and due process, look up Bill of Rights).
2. Dictatorship (also called totalitarian rue) is defined as rule by one person. It depend on those things Democracy abhors in order to maintain power (secret police, constant "monitoring" and invasions of privacy, rigged trials, and state control of news, ect.)
3. In democracies (in dictatorships, there is only one real political party) political parties are groups of people formed to forward their polital goals. Basically, they are people of the same beleifs working to get elected so they can enact laws they want to see passed.
