What is an Autocracy?
A system of government in which one person has the supreme power to make all kinds of decisions and rules.
In modern times such leadership is referred to as dictatorship or absolute monarchism.
How is an Autocracy run?
The term autocracy is divided into two from Greek words and thus has a meaning, with auto referring to by itself while Kratos is the power held by a single leader.
Therefore, autocracy means a leader has no lawful restrictions or control by popular people when he is making use of his political powers.
Decisions made are not subject to change by any external factors but is concentrated on the hands of one person.
The leaders do not report to anyone as no one holds accountable for their decisions.
The autocratic system of government favors the public sector since the government officials tend to put greater resources and administration in the areas they control.
