Question

What is democracy? Give examples of non-democratic countries.

✓

Answer

Democracy is a form of government in which the rulers are elected by the people.
Examples of non-democratic countries:

The army rulers of Myanmar are not elected by the people. Those who happen to be in control of the army become the rulers of the country. People have no say in the decision making.
Dictators like Pinochet are not elected by the people.
The king of Nepal and Saudi Arabia rule, not because the people have chosen them to do so but because they happen to be born into the royal family.
