    The document compares authoritarian and democratic systems of government across several aspects. It notes that in authoritarian systems, the government's power is unlimited, power is held by an individual or small group, civil liberties are not guaranteed in practice, elections do not offer a choice and are typically single-party, the government does not always follow the rule of law, and force or threats of force are frequently used to maintain order. By contrast, it describes democratic systems as having a government with power limited by the people, elected officials chosen through ballots, guaranteed civil liberties and rights, multi-party elections that offer choices, a government and people under the rule of law, and order maintained through legal protests and use of force only to restrain the disorderly

    Government is not limited.
