Question

Which option best summarizes what is expected of citizens in a dictatorship?

A. To encourage a governmental shift toward anarchy

B. To ensure that no government officials are corrupt

C. To play an active role in selecting government leaders

D. To obey and support the government without question

Answer 1

Anarchy means the political system where no one holds power. Hence, this is not the answer since in a dictatorship the dictator wants to conserve his power.
For this reason, answer C is also wrong; the people should not have say in who the leader is. Also, the citizens may not question higher officials too. Dictatorships often disregard the law and are corrupt since these individuals are not bound by anything. In most dictatorships the people are supposed to endorse the dictator and follow his orders.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) to obey and support the government without question.

The option that best summarizes what is expected of citizens in a dictatorship is "to obey and support the government without question."

Dictators exert total control of citizens and officers of government. In a dictatorship, citizens are expected to obey "blindly," never questioning the dictator decisions. The government has total control of the means of production and political decisions. That was the case of famous dictators such as Adolph Hitler in Germany, Benito Mussolini in Italy or Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union.
