What is the characteristic of an autocracy/dictatorship government system?

A system where power is shared among several branches
A system of government in which the power to rule is in the hands of a single individual
A system governed by a small group of people
A system where power is decentralized

The correct answer is: A system of government in which the power to rule is in the hands of a single individual

An autocracy or dictatorship government system is characterized by having a single ruler who holds all the power and makes decisions on behalf of the entire nation without input from other branches or groups. Option A is incorrect because a shared power structure goes against the principles of autocracy. Option C is incorrect because while it may seem like a group is in control, ultimately the power rests with one person. Option D is incorrect because a decentralized power structure would not be considered an autocracy or dictatorship, as power would be dispersed among multiple individuals or groups.
