gain a position of authority e.g. mussolin was prime minister for Italy in 1922

make leadership absoloute rule, unrestricted by law and constitutions etc.

use the threat of something like invasion or communism as justification for a dictatorship.

hope its useful!

Fascism started after the 1st world war and it originated in Europe It originated in Italy with Benito Mussolini who was expelled from the Socialists and decided to form his own movement called the fascismo in 1919. The name derived from the Italian 'fascio' which means 'bundle' and thus the group was born. It didn't become the Fascist Party until just before the fascists came to power in the March on Rome in Oct 1922. Fascism came about mostly as a reaction from the elites for a strong govt that would instil law and order, something which the incumbent Giolitti govt was not doing. The Italian parliament had proportional representation and so in order to govern, parties had to form coalitions. This resulted in weak, ineffectual govts. In truth, fascism had a wide appeal to both the moderates who wanted law and order and governance and the radicals who were heavily attracted to the violent, ultranationalistic nature of fascism.

The people vote directly on government issues. The United States has too many people to do this so we have a representative democracy. However, some places in England/Britain still have town hall meetings where the people can come and discuss issues directly. You then get into the issue of Parliament and the House of Commons. The House of Commons (common people make up this) doesn't need the House of Lords to pass a bill, which is like a direct democracy but the next level.

it started with solon's work in 594 B.C., but wasn't a complete democracy until pericles in 464 B.C. and lasted until the war with sparta in 322B.C.

In two ways: bills passed by Congress must be approved by the President (or, if vetoed, Congress must vote to override the veto); bills must be found to be constitutional if challenged in court.

Karl Marx was the first philosopher to develop the idea thoroughly, even though communism, as a concept, had existed since ancient times. Marx called one of his four epochs of history Asiatic. This was the earliest epoch and had examples of simple communism in the form of small tribes in which no one owned individual plots of land, everyone worked for the common good of the tribe and everyone partook of the produce of the tribe equally or as needed.

First I would say go to your Websters and look it up. This persons opinion and that persons opinion are way too overblown. Opinions are often wrong and they can even cause wars. The beauty of language is that it is used to convey thoughts and concepts and facts from one person to another. In order to do that accurately we need to be familiar with the actual meanings of the words we use. The definitions of those words need to stay constant . Too often in our society a noun will be used to describe someone because the meaning has become distasteful to the popular cuture and not because the person bears any resemblance. Bad idea. Or take the verb decimate it has become popular in the news of all things where speech should be precise. One will be looking at the TV screen at a town completely destryed by a tornado and the newsman will describe it as decimated and someone like me will say,"I wish it was decimated" or only a tenth of the town destroyed. We cannot afford to lose the language. Look it up. An empire is a widespread enforced control of several nations and peoples under a central foreign government. By the way Empires are not always malevolent. The pop cuture use of the word is absolutely inaccurate.

So Imperialism would be the form of government that governs several nations and peoples from a cental government. Usualy enforced and often without consent.

Yes, but . . . China like other totalitarian states feigns towards democracy. They hold votes (voting is a handy method for decision making) but they have only one party that is available to express one's political principles. If your political principles don't match the party you have no where to go and no one else to vote for.

China is a communist country that is ruled by a dictator, called a Chairman. The government, controlled by The Chairman, owns every media outlet and many manufacturing and industrial firms. The state mandates every aspect of the lives of its people, including even the number of children a family can have. Although China makes American goods available through an economy that is gradually capitalizing, it holds strong non-democratic attitudes and policies towards those who would challenge their rule. Some of these methods include torture of dissidents, illegal arrests and detainments, kangaroo courts, and militant repression of protests. They use police and military to maintain power particularly in Tibet and in other regions which have citizens who would prefer to go their own way.

The Vice President is considered the "President of the Senate", however the Vice President's only usual involvement is to swear in new senators, and break a tie vote if one occurs. The "President Pro Tempore" is the highest ranking Senator. It's usually (customary) the longest serving member of the majority party. Currently, Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd (West Virginia) is the President Pro Tempore. He has held office since January 3rd, 1959. He is the oldest member of the Senate. He is also the longest serving Senator is US history.

If Byrd dies or retires, Daniel Inouye (Hawaii) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (Vermont) would be the next two longest serving Senators on the Democratic side. The longest serving Republicans are Dick Luger (Indiana) and Orrin Hatch (Utah).

is democracy an essential way of life

The US system is defined as a 'Presidential system' as opposed to the 'Parliamentary system'. In a Presidential system like that of the USA, France and several South American countries, the President has large executive and often military powers, and he can influence the working of his Parliament / Congress by vetoing laws, and of his Judiciary by appointing the Supreme Court judges. It is a system that can work well in a democratic system like the US, but it can also easily lead (as it has done in most South American systems at some point) to Presidents assuming dictatorial powers.

In a Parliamentary system like the UK, Germany and most other European countries the Parliament is the highest power in the land; it can send away any Secretaries of State it doesn't like or trust, including the Prime Minister, and the head of State (President or King) in a Parliamentary system has mostly ceremonial tasks.

People participate in politics for personal,religious,social α̲̅πϑ economic reasons.But whatever the motivation ,the major reason is make your opinion relevant α̲̅πϑ heard,to fight for ǻ cause or even to satisfy some selfish wants.

The main reason that America viewed communism as a threat is because it eliminates the free market. Additionally, communist governments are usually violent and oppressive.

Italy only. Therefore the question should be re-phrased to 'country'. The term fascist in the anglo-saxon culture is wrongly (like the rest of history) interpreted and taught. Fascism was the political ideal of Italy's Mussolini in Italy during the period from 1922 to 1945 and still followed nowaday by young and old. Fascism stands for an ideal of life and country against capitalism and communism. *Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. Only in Italy was the controlling political party given this name, but by this definition, Nazi Germany and WW2-era Japan were even more Fascist than Italy.

The media plays a very important role in providing news and discussing events taking place in the country and the world. It is on the basis of this information that citizens can, for example learn how government works. And often, if they wish to, they can take action on the basis of these news stories.

The imperialism of the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s goes back to the idea of Manifest Destiny. It was the "destiny" of our nation to expand from border to border and sea to sea. Once the North American continent was "acquired" (physically, politically, and economically) it was only a "natural" step to seek influence abroad. The economic factors that supported imperialism included the need to obtain more natural resources for industrial development and the need for more markets to expand the industrial profit of the nation. Politically we considered ourselves a model for other nations and areas to admire. Politicians claimed that imperial ventures were simply a way for the US to take part in world affairs and not become too isolated. Trade between nations made the US an active imperialistic nation as well. The desire to spread our political and social ideals as well as missionary zeal also contributed to our imperialistic designs.
