Another familiar name of Democracy is “Government by consent”. Ibrahim Lincowords it may be a structure of government in which the people are allowed to take part as a matter of righln said “it is commonly defined as Government of people, by people and for the people” in simple t. It may be two kinds; direct and indirect. The indirect democracy is trend these days and it is also called representative democracy or government through representatives. A democrat who believes in the rules of people

              Compression between Democracy, Absolutism and Dictatorship

Democracy works for betterment of people and it based on equality. Every citizen is thought to be equal to law.  It allows people the right to change the government through vote. But in dictatorship and absolutism people have not right to change the government through vote. Democracy gives right of speech anyone can speak against government if he or she is not satisfy from performance of government but in dictatorship and absolutism people are allowed to speak against government does not matter they are satisfy from performance of government or not they have not right to speak against government mean democracy gives freedom of speech but dictatorship and absolutism don’t give freedom of speech. Democracy gives the people the sense of self-help and responsibility and people are free to share their opinion and ideas about modern government which is very useful for betterment of country. But dictatorship and absolutism people are not allowed to give their suggestions in any matter of government.  Democracy provide chance for new educated people who can join government and people can elect them if they are able but dictatorship and absolutism don’t give right of vote so people are not allowed to elect their leader through vote that is sometimes new and educated people do not get a chance and the government would fall into the hands of incompetent people and the country would stop developing. Democracy gives birth to a stable government because its reduces the danger of revolt but dictatorship is not a stable government because people can come out from homes to get their right and it can bring great violation and revolt in country which makes a country unstable.  In dictatorship no one can change laws but democracy gives right to people they can changes laws through the petition. Democracy gives equal rights to every citizen and all minorities but absolutism does not allow the minority to be heard or knowledge. In absolutism government is based on tyranny of the minority, in which a minority group can be ignored. In democracy government cannot be long term or stable because everything is under scrutiny from the voter. People can change government through the vote if they are not happy after but this is not possible in absolutism because in this style of government all authorities and powers of government is transferred to the king and then to his son. In the end we can say democrat who believes in the rules of people but a dictatorship and absolutism believe rules of leader.
