C. Sometimes the promise of economic growth and the benefits that come with it help bring dictatorships into power. Economic instability in Latin America often led to a lack of faith in democratic governments and a desire for strong leadership that could bring about economic stability. Military dictators often promised economic reforms and growth, which appealed to many citizens who were struggling economically. This desire for stability and growth, combined with disillusionment with existing democratic governments, helped pave the way for military dictatorships to rise to power in Latin America.
