The major difference between democratic governments and authoritarian governments is, one gives you freedom and in the other, you must be subordinate to government power, and decisions. In a democratic government people have the power, but in an authoritarian government the main people in power, hold your freedom and restrict your choices.

The most common type of government in our modern world is, republic. We think this because, having representatives make the choice for a certain group of people, is easier than everyone doing so for him or herself.
