Human: What is the difference between democracy and dictatorship? Assistant: 
The main difference between democracy and dictatorship is that democracy is a form of government where the citizens have a say in how the society is run and governed, while dictatorship is characterised by a single leader or group of people with unchecked power, usually through their political or military influence. In a democracy, the people ultimately hold the power, while in a dictatorship the leader or group largely controls all aspects of the governance of the state.
