Additional Notes: |

Dutch ..... Heerschappij waarbij de macht in handen is van een tiran, die een grote of absolute macht bezit en deze wreed, onrechtvaardig of in de vorm van onderdrukking uitoefent. Gebruik 'despotisme' voor heerschappijvormen waarbij de macht absoluut is en er een element van willekeur aanwezig is.
