Use the following source to answer questions 4-6. View I True democracy can only result when every citizen is actively involved in all important decisions affecting their lives.Referendums must be conducted regularly in order in direct governments in their law making. View II Democracy is best served through a single political party that represents the interests of the entire community by encouraging free open discussion within that single party. View III Constitutions guaranteeing rights and freedoms are only words and are often meaningless . Real democracy first requires a large measure of true economic equality so that constitutional rights can then be actively enjoyed and guaranteed for all. View IV The political process must be competitive Political parties reflecting a cross section of views must compete for political power. The party with a majority of support will govern as long as it maintains that support. That is the true spirit of democracy. 4. Historically, which views have been used in support of policies put in place by communist governments? a. Views I and III b. Views I and II c. Views II and III d. Views III and IV

The answer is **c. Views II and III**. Here's why:<br /><br />* **View II:** The concept of a single party representing the entire community aligns with communist ideology, which historically suppresses other political parties and promotes a single, dominant party. While "free open discussion" is mentioned within the party, communist regimes often tightly control such discussions.<br /><br />* **View III:** The emphasis on economic equality as a prerequisite for true democracy is a core tenet of communist thought. Communist states often prioritize economic equality (though often failing to achieve it in practice) and argue that true freedom and rights cannot exist without it. They often downplay the importance of constitutional guarantees in favor of economic restructuring.<br /><br />Let's look at why the other options are incorrect:<br /><br />* **View I:** Direct democracy with constant referendums is not a characteristic of communist governments. Communist states tend to centralize power rather than distribute it through frequent referendums.<br /><br />* **View IV:** A competitive political process with multiple parties vying for power is the opposite of what communist governments typically allow. Competition is suppressed, and a single party maintains control.<br />
