Totalitarianism differs from authoritarianism in allowing no

a. voice in government

b. veto over legislation

c. political parties

d. personal freedom

e. elections

I cant quite figure this out and even if I can I am very unsure.

I would say political parties.

Could you confirm this ?

I think you're right.

Yes, you are correct. Totalitarianism differs from authoritarianism in that it does not allow political parties.

To confirm your answer, let's break down the other options:

a. voice in government: Both authoritarianism and totalitarianism restrict or limit citizens' voice in government. So this is not the distinguishing factor between the two.

b. veto over legislation: This does not directly differentiate between authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Both types of regimes can have the power to veto legislation.

c. political parties: In an authoritarian regime, political parties may exist, but their power and influence are typically limited. However, in a totalitarian regime, political parties are not allowed at all. Thus, this is the distinguishing characteristic.

d. personal freedom: Both authoritarianism and totalitarianism restrict personal freedom, so this does not help differentiate between the two.

e. elections: In both authoritarian and totalitarian systems, elections can be held, but they are often not free and fair. Therefore, this does not clearly distinguish between the two.

In conclusion, the correct answer is indeed c. political parties. Totalitarianism goes further than authoritarianism by not allowing any political parties to exist.
