 | | A dictatorship is a political regime under which the power of government is not limited by law. |
 | | All types of dictatorship, or authoritarianism, have one key characteristic in common: Unbridled political power is lodged in one place--one person, one small and united group, or a unified, highly disciplined, and well-led popular majority or its elected representatives, who are unified, highly disciplined and well led. |
 | | Dictatorship is characterized by the government's exercise of unlimited power, while constitutionalism is characterized by limited government under a constitution. |
