Question

The vital role of the media in moving toward empowerment of the people and the push for increased inclusivity has been true for centuries. Pamphlets and books that informed and motivated people played a large part during the Glorious Revolution, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution. The Arab Spring protests were facilitated by the spread of information through social media. Widespread information is about whether or not there are economic or political abuses by those in power must be obtained and circulated in some method. A type of regime will do its best to silence this information. Fujimori and Montesinos paid more than $10 million to control TV stations in Peru.

What kind of political system does this describe?

Pluralistic institution

Democracy

The virtuous circle

Authoritarian regime

Answer 1

The correct answer is Authoritarian Regime

Reason:

These are regimes or governments that are characterized by strong concentration of central power. Under such regimes, there is limited economic, political as well as personal freedom. Further, there is no constitutional accountability and the broad view is towards blind submission to authority.

The Authoritarian Regime is generally overthrown through spread of information that translates into civil uprising. Like the example of Arab Spring mentioned where civil uprising against oppression helped overthrow the Authoritarian Regime.
