Authoritarianism Questions
Authoritarianism significantly restricts political participation by suppressing civil liberties, limiting freedom of speech and assembly, and controlling the media. In authoritarian regimes, power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader or a small group, leaving little room for citizen involvement in decision-making processes. Political opposition is often suppressed, leading to a lack of political pluralism and limited opportunities for citizens to express their opinions or participate in political activities. As a result, authoritarianism hinders the development of a vibrant civil society and undermines the principles of democracy and citizen engagement.
