Answer to Question 1

Democracy is most often found in wealthier nations with a large middle-class capable of holding the government accountable. In addition, democracy flourishes where there are many competing groups, none of which comprises a majority.

Answer to Question 2

The state can legally imprison, attack, or kill citizens in certain circumstances; can legally take money from citizens through taxes or fines; and can legally negotiate with other countries and use its armed forces to attack and kill in other countries.
