In a totalitarian state, the following statements are true:

1. The military promises loyalty to one person.
2. Newspapers are controlled by the government.
3. Leaders are appointed or elected with no opposition.
4. The military promises loyalty to the ideas of the country.

The other statements, regarding the burden of proof for the accused and the nature of elections, do not typically align with the characteristics of a totalitarian regime. In such systems, the accused often face biased judicial processes, and elections, if they occur, are usually not competitive and lack genuine opposition.
