Answer:

Elected governments control militaries in democratic countries, while in totalitarian countries they are dominated by the leader.

Explanation:

A Totalitarian Government is one where the Government has all the power instead of the people who elect them.

The rights of the people are subservient to that of the state which usually leads to human rights abuses.

This is the opposite of democracies where elected governments are the ones who control the military.
