What are distinguishes an authoritarian goverment from a democratic one?

There are many differences between an authoritarian and a democratic government. The most obvious one is the way in which each government picks it leader. In an authoritarian regime, a leader governs with complete authority, and with no legitimacy, as the people have no right to participate in government. On the other hand, a democratic regime allows all people to participate in the running of the country, and the leader is chosen through a vote.

Another difference is the amount and the type of liberties that citizens enjoy in each type of regime. In an authoritarian regime, the law is very restrictive and people enjoy few liberties. On the other hand, in a democratic regime, people enjoy many liberties (such as freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom of religion) and these are protected by law.

overtime, the civil rights movement changed in a way that not only it benefited african-americans, but benefited other ethnicity's such as latinos, asians, or women too! that's why the results of the movement be called mixed.

the civil rights movement brought about tremendous changes. no longer were blacks denied the right to vote, to eat, shop, and swim where they , and more importantly, to attend integrated schools. despite its many accomplishments, however, the civil rights movement had its shortcomings. for example, many people, both young and old, lost their lives, homes, jobs, and families. still other individuals were so damaged by psychological trauma that they ceased being productive members of the community. the movement left intact the economic inequities that had contributed to the maintenance of segregation. and finally, racism remained alive and well long after the movement's end. like most movements of its kind, the civil rights movement left behind a mixed legacy of triumph and tragedy.
