An authoritarian government is a political system characterized by centralized power and limited political freedoms, where authority is concentrated in a single leader or a small group. Citizens typically have little or no role in political decision-making, and dissent is often suppressed through censorship, intimidation, or violence. Individual rights and freedoms are frequently restricted, with the state exerting control over many aspects of life, including the media, education, and public expression. Examples include regimes that rule without democratic elections or that manipulate electoral processes to maintain power.
