Explanation:

In an authoritarian government, power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader or a small group with limited citizen - participation. In a democratic government, power is distributed, and citizens have the right to participate in decision - making through free and fair elections. Also, authoritarian governments often restrict civil liberties such as freedom of speech and the press, while democratic governments generally protect these rights.

Answer:

1. Power distribution: Authoritarian has concentrated power, democratic has distributed power.
2. Civil liberties: Authoritarian often restricts them, democratic generally protects them.
