autocracy

Autocracy is a type of government where one person has the power to make decisions for everyone. An autocrat is the leader who makes these decisions. In an autocracy, the autocrat controls all parts of the government, and no one has the power to challenge or stop the autocrat. Autocracy is a type of dictatorship because it is not based on democracy, where everyone has an equal say in making decisions.
