Pros and Cons of a Dictatorship
Pros- If he/she knows what's best for the country, they can make the best decisions. Laws are also easier to pass since it doesn't have to go through a congress. Also, if the country is small, they might only need one person in power.
Cons- They could abuse their power. They could also make unfair laws. Unfair punishment.
A dictatorship is a very cruel form of government to most everyone in the world.
