Solution

Difference between one-party dominance and a one-party system:

  • One-party dominance: Many parties exist, and elections are free, but one party keeps winning most of the time and remains dominant (e.g., Congress in the early years after Independence).
  • One-party system: Only one legal political party is allowed; opposition parties and real electoral competition do not exist (e.g., the Communist Party in China).
