What is the main difference between a democracy and dictatorship?

In a democracy the government has less control over how people spend their time and what they believe. People are free to join clubs, political parties and other groups. In a dictatorship there's just one leader who has total control over the party and the country.

Democracy is a kind of government where the government is chosen by the people of the country. The residents of the country have the right to put forth their opinion on different matters.On the other hand, dictatorship is defined as a government wherein a person single-handedly manages the affairs of the country. He/ She decide the order and makes sure that the people implement it.

The head of the country is elected by the voting process. The one with the highest number of votes becomes the head.The individual has the sole authority over the entire country. No elections take place in the dictatorship
