Which of the following is a characteristic of fascism but not of democracy?


government control of the military
the existence of several political parties
freedom to criticize the government
a lack of individual civil liberties


Sagot :

a lack of individual civil liberties

in a democracy like in the us, the military is typically controlled by the executive branch

several political parties exist in a democracy - that's what makes it a democracy. people vote which political party they want in power. (i.e. democrats vs. republicans)

think of the first amendment in the constitution - freedom of speech, press, and assembly. democracies allow to to say what you want (peacefully) without punishment.

democracies are built upon granting civil liberties to citizens, so obviously a lack of civil liberties is not part of a democracy. however, it is a characteristic of fascism.
