Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. In the fictional country of Wachoviak, there is one leader who holds all of the power. He took power by force, not by popular election, but he controls all government officials and makes every major decision. He also uses torture against those who oppose his power. What form of government system is Wachoviak using?

A dictatorship is a system in which one leader holds concentrated power, often without being elected, and controls government decisions. The leader in Wachoviak took power by force, controls officials, and uses torture to silence opponents, so this is a dictatorship. An oligarchy is ruled by a small group, not one all-powerful leader.
