Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Personalistic dictatorships tend to have weak press, strong secret police, and arbitrary uses of force as the leader of the regime seeks to maintain power through control and suppression rather than through institutional support. Strong parties and strong militaries are more characteristic of authoritarian regimes, while free press, competitive elections, and multipartism are more characteristic of democracies.
