An "autocratic" system refers to a form of governance where a single individual holds significant power and authority, making decisions without much input from others. In an autocracy, the leader often has the final say on policies and laws, limiting the role of citizens or other governing bodies. This type of leadership can be seen in various historical and contemporary contexts, such as in some dictatorships. In an autocratic regime, the leader may use force or coercion to maintain control and suppress dissent. This can lead to a lack of political freedom and limited civil rights for the population. Examples of autocratic leaders include dictators like Kim Jong-un of North Korea and Vladimir Putin of Russia.
