<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[file:dictator.jpg|left|400px|]] '''<u>Dictator</u>''' is a ruler (e.g. absolutist or autocratic) who assumes sole and absolute power (sometimes, but not always, with military control or bribes).<br />
<br />
Sometimes it is officially sanctioned by heritage (family), as in an absolute monarch. North Korea is an exception in which a family has ruled since the communist takeover of the North part of Korea. When other states call the head of state of a particular state a dictator, that state is called a dictatorship. In modern usage, the term "dictator" is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly. Dictatorships are often characterized by some of the following traits: suspension of elections and of civil liberties (freedom); proclamation of a state of emergency; rule by decree; repression of political opponents without abiding by rule of law procedures; these include single-party state, and cult of personality. <br />
