By definition, a totalitarian rule is one in which things are imposed, forced, and decided by one ruler, or one party, in essence by just a specific group, or person. There is no liberty on the part of citizens whatsoever, and things are dictated by that one person, or group. In contrast in democracy, there is no such thing; control comes from the people, power is given by the people, and decisions are made in group, as a team, with no one overcoming another. As such, the organization for this question would be:

Democracy: Peaceful transfers of power, Multiple political parties, Democracy, many personal liberties, elections determine leaders.
