despotism和autocracy（autocracy）

大家好,小霞来为大家解答以上的问题。despotism和autocracy，autocracy这个很多人还不知道,现在让我们一起来看看吧！

1、Dictatorship and autocracy are synonyms with slightly different connotation.An autocracy is a form of government in which the political power is held by a single self-appointed ruler.Dictatorship refers to an autocratic form of absolute rule by leadership unrestricted by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state. 由此可见，Autocracy 着重指个人专制独裁，而 Dictatorship 则可指不受法律约束或不专重人民的专制政权。

2、Autocracy is a system of governance headed by a single ruler called an autocrat. A dictatorship is a form of autocracy where power and authority are wielded by either one person or a group of people. Earlier forms of autocratic regimes (e.g. early Roman empire) are sometimes regarded as favorable, while dictatorships are always viewed as tyrannical and oppressive. Autocrats often lacked a cult of personality which dictators often flaunted to keep themselves in power.简单来说，dictatorship既可指权力掌握在一人手中，也可指权力掌握在一群人手中并且dictatorship还有一层蕴意，经常会与种族灭绝、压制、暴政联系。
