Read the sentence.As Carl Becker [1] pointed out during the rise of European fascism after World War I [2], for democracy to prosper, it needs “a certain measure of economic security” [3]. [4]In which position should a citation be inserted?

A citation should appear immediately after the quoted words it supports. Position 3 comes after “a certain measure of economic security” and before the sentence’s final period, so it clearly identifies the source of Becker’s quotation. Position 4 would place the citation after the sentence rather than directly after the quote.
