Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Compared to totalitarianism and socialism, democracy is associated with greater economic freedom and higher economic living standards. Economic freedom flourishes when governments support the institutions necessary for that freedom, such as freely operating markets and rule of law. The more political freedom in a nation, the more its citizens enjoy economic freedom.
Political freedom is characterized by free and fair elections; the right to form political parties; fair electoral laws; existence of a parliament or other legislative body; freedom from domination by the military, foreign powers, or religious hierarchies; and self-determination for cultural, ethnic, and religious minorities. Economic freedom relates to the extent of government interference in business, the strictness of the regulatory environment, and the ease with which commercial activity is carried out according to market forces.
