Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description given is of an authoritarian autocracy, where a single individual or a small group holds absolute power and controls all aspects of society without the possibility of opposition or competing governing parties. This is not a democracy or a liberal democracy, which advocate for free and fair elections and political participation by the citizens. A unitary democracy may refer to a system where power is centralized in one level of government, but it does not necessarily imply authoritarianism or the absence of political pluralism.
