Question

The form of government where one-party rule prevails is ___
A) Democratic form.
B) Non-democratic form.
C) Dictatorship.
D) Autocracy

Answer 1

Hint: A one-party system is a form of governance in which the country is governed by a single political party, with the formation of additional political parties prohibited. There are many political parties in some nations, yet only one can be in power by law. A one-party dominating state is what this is known as. Opposition parties to the majority ruling party are allowed in this situation, but they have no realistic possibility of attaining power.

Complete answer:
A dictatorship is a type of government in which there is only one or a few leaders and little or no tolerance for political plurality or independent media. In a dictatorial regime, the country's leader is usually referred to as a dictator; yet, their actual title may be more closely related to that of a leader.

Let us look at the given options:
A) Democratic form: This option is incorrect because in a democratic form of government there exists multiple political parties which stand in the elections and the people of the nation choose their leaders from amongst these parties. Hence, democratic form of government is an incorrect option because it has more than one party.
B) Non-democratic form: A government that is non-democratic is one that is run by officials that are not elected by citizens and are not accountable to them. Hence, this option is incorrect
C) Dictatorship: This is the correct option. Dictatorship is a type of governance in which one person or a small number of people wields total authority over the rest of the country without effective constitutional restraints. The country is governed by a single political party, which means that there is only one political party and that the formation of new political parties is prohibited.
D) Autocracy: Autocracy is a form of government in which the supreme power over a state is concentrated in the hands of a single individual, whose choices are not subject to external legal limitations or regularised popular control systems. The government has absolute control. This is not the case in one party rule, that is, dictatorship. Hence, this is an incorrect option.

Thus, the correct answer is Option (C) Dictatorship.

Note: A single party controls policies and has access to political positions in single-party dictatorships. Party elites in single-party dictatorships are usually members of the party's ruling body, known as the central committee, politburo, or secretariat. China, Cuba, Eritrea, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam, among others, are currently one-party states.
