Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The application states that authoritarian institutions are characterized by tightly controlled oligarchies, where "a small group of people exercises control over the government and the economy." This is in contrast to democratic institutions where power is more evenly distributed among citizens and elected officials. Limited monarchies may have some authoritarian characteristics, but are not always classified as pure authoritarian institutions.
