Which statement describes Haiti’s government in the 1800s?

After Haiti won independence from France in 1804, the country went through repeated changes in leadership, coups, and periods of authoritarian rule during the 1800s. This means Haiti experienced decades of political instability. It did not establish a stable representative democracy during that period, and neither Spain’s occupation nor France’s recolonization describes what happened.
