The following are the main types of Dictatorship :
1. Dictatorship of Ancient period:
The establishment of this kind of dictatorship is done in the case if an administrator faces an emergent situation and it has to be dealt with. For example, in order to establish peace, law and order in Rome, special powers were provided to special officers, and therefore, by using unlimited powers, the emergent situation was dealt with.
After the end of special emergent circumstances, even the role of dictatorial officers came to an end. In this way the administrator of Sicily (Italy), Garibaldi, per formed this experiment in the year 1860. This dictatorial system of governance proves to be of public welfare, answerable and legal and beneficial for having control on the administration in emergency situations.
2. Contemporary Dictatorship:
Establishment of this type of dictatorship is done on the basis of force and violence. In this, the administrator gain power by means of conspiracies. This administrator is free from any control. In present times, this is enforced on the public for military administration, and emergency situations. In democratic countries, it is being used for the misuse of power of governance, murder of democracy and to put prohibitions on human liberties, etc.
