How does democracy differ from a monarchy or a dictatorship?

In a democracy, the people rather than the government have the supreme power.

Explanation:

Democracy: the power of those in authority is limited because the people retain the supreme power.

Dictatorship: a ruler or small group with absolute power over the people holds power, often through force.

Monarchy: a government in which authority over the people is retained through a trade of allegiance.
