Stalin and the Soviet Union — Unit test

Question 9 • WA-World History B - Aberdeen

How does a communist system of government differ from a democracy?

Answer

In a communist system, power is inherited and passed down. In a democracy, power is in the hands of the people.

In a communist system, elections are never held. In a democracy, the people vote in elections to choose their leaders.

In a communist system, voters choose from a wide variety of candidates. In a democracy, choice is somewhat limited.

In a communist system, a single political party controls the government. In a democracy, the people can elect officials from different parties.

Explanation

A communist system is typically governed by a single political party, which controls the government. In a democracy, voters can choose officials from different parties. So choice D describes the key difference; communist countries may hold elections, so choice B is too absolute.
