Question

Democracies and social democracies differ significantly from totalitarian and
theocratic structures of government. In totalitarian structures, rulers have
unlimited power, and this power is vested in one leader or a group of people
who are not elected. Their citizens do not participate in the activities of
government. Under theocracies, the government's laws are based on religious
laws, and the leader is typically part of the clergy.
Which of the following synthesizes the impact of diverse government structures
on society and human rights? (1 point)
Government structures that offer strong protections for human rights create
oppressive societies because of stronger government regulation, whereas
government structures that offer weak protections for human rights allow more
freedom.
Government structures that offer strong protections for human rights create
weaker social institutions and less freedom in society whereas government
structures that offer weak protections for human rights create free societies.
Government structures that offer strong protections for human rights create
stronger social institutions and more freedom in society whereas government
structures that offer weak protections for human rights create unequal societies.
Government structures, whether they offer strong or weak protections for human
rights, are not connected to how society functions; societies are shaped by
culture and the economy, not by government decisions.

Answer 1

The most accurate synthesis of the impact of diverse government structures on society and human rights is:

Government structures that offer strong protections for human rights create stronger social institutions and more freedom in society whereas government structures that offer weak protections for human rights create unequal societies.

This option reflects the distinction between democracies that promote human rights and participation in government versus totalitarian or theocratic systems that restrict freedoms and create inequalities.
