The democracy main purpose is to overcome tyranny, or rule by one person or small groups of people.

Second, A Dictatorship is where all the power is concentrated in one person’s hands. Most dictator were monarchies in which rulers were titled as princes or princesses, kings or queens, and emperors or empresses. Most dictators are initiated by military figures. A general or other military leader uses the force under his command to take control of the government.

Third, An Oligarchy is a type of government that is often controlled by powerful families. “an oligarchy is a form of government in which most of the political power effectively rests with a small segment of society, typically the people who have the most wealth, military strength, ruthlessness or political influence” (“Oligarchy”).
