6/25 An oligarchy can be like a dictatorship False True

An oligarchy is a form of government in which power is held by a small group of people. These people may be distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, education, corporate, or military control. Such states are often controlled by families who pass their influence from one generation to the next. On the other hand, a dictatorship is a form of government in which a single person or a small group possesses absolute power without effective constitutional limitations. In a dictatorship, the ruler or rulers hold absolute authority and often rule by force. While both oligarchies and dictatorships involve concentration of power in the hands of a few, the key difference is that in an oligarchy, power is shared among a group, whereas in a dictatorship, power is held by a single person or a very small group. Therefore, the statement "An oligarchy can be like a dictatorship" is true, as both involve concentration of power in the hands of a few, but differ in the distribution of that power.
