A Benevolent Dictatorship, historically known by the ideological or philosohpical name Enlightened Absolutism, is a form of dictatorship. All though the fundamentals of government are the same as a dictatorship, Benevolent Dictatorships are characterised by higher political freedoms and civil rights amongst residents of the state in question. Typically, a Benevolent Dictatorship promotes freedom of speech, demonstration, press, religion and/or thought and is considerably less oppressive than an authoritarian dictatorship.
