He had a choice not to comply with the orders being barked at him,(democratic). On the other hand someone in a position of authority gave an order and he felt compelled to do it(dictatorship).

Like in army. Like when you go into a factory the Safety person can and will dictate you to were a helmet. Like in the army where the sentinel can stop a general.

If the president goes into operating room will have to comply with nurse orders.
