First watch this clip before you continue reading. Maybe Anakin and Padme can help you understand what this chapter is all about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNSq5wYdwb0

Now that we have learned what a dictatorship is and what a democracy is, it's time to look at the differences. To make it easies for you, we have put them down in the little chart below.

Dictatorship | Democracy
One leader with total control over the political party and country | Leader with the most votes is in control but can’t decide on their own
No rights for individual citizens | Fair elections
Control through police, law and spying | Free press
Only one party, opposition is destroyend banned and not allowed | You can join clubs and any political party you like
No free press |

The map below is a map of freedom. It shows how free countries are.

Green: Free
Yellow: Partly free
Grey: Not free
