Question

Read this passage from Benito Mussolini's "The Political

and Social Doctrine of Fascism":
The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a
sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is
deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but
retains what is essential; the deciding power in this
question cannot be the individual, but the State alone.¹
Based on Mussolini's ideas, which action would Italy most
likely take under fascist rule?
A. Arrest writers who criticize the government
B. Establish a bill of rights to protect individual liberty
C. Allow citizens to vote on law enforcement policies
D. Agree to enforce laws set by an international organization

Answer 1

A. Arrest writers who criticize the government.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rule out D, as there is no mention of international governments. We can rule out C, as it says, "the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone", and we can rule out B as it says, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential," and what we can gather from that is they basically will keep minimal rights for the individual, as they really don't care about it and probably won't protect individual liberty, which leaves us with A, the most logical answer.
