You're welcome! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions.
To classify the countries according to the type of government they have, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Understand the types of governments
There are generally two broad categories of government: authoritarian and democratic.
- Authoritarian governments have a strong central power, limited civil liberties, and restrictions on political opposition.
- Democratic governments, on the other hand, are characterized by popular participation, checks and balances, protection of civil liberties, and regular elections.
Step 2: Analyze the given countries
Let's analyze each country to determine their classification:
- Cambodia: Cambodia has been predominantly ruled by the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), led by Prime Minister Hun Sen, since the 1980s. The government has been criticized for its authoritative tendencies, limited political freedoms, and suppression of opposition parties. Based on this information, Cambodia can be classified as "Predominantly Authoritarian."
- Singapore: Singapore is known for its strong central government, led by the People's Action Party (PAP) since independence. While it has regular elections, the PAP has held power for an extended period. The government is characterized by strict regulation and limited political opposition. Hence, Singapore can be classified as "Democratic in Some Form but Authoritarian in Practice."
- Vietnam: Vietnam is governed by the Communist Party. Although it holds regular elections, political opposition is not allowed, and civil liberties are limited. Vietnam falls under the category of "Predominantly Authoritarian."
- The Philippines: The Philippines has a mixed governmental history. The country has a democratic system with a President and regular elections. However, it also faces challenges such as corruption, political dynasties, and sometimes authoritarian-like tendencies. Considering its democratic foundation, the Philippines can be classified as "Predominantly Democratic."
Step 3: Classify the countries
Based on the analysis, the countries can be classified as follows:
- Predominantly Authoritarian: Cambodia and Vietnam
- Democratic in Some Form but Authoritarian in Practice: Singapore
- Predominantly Democratic: The Philippines
By following these steps, you can now accurately drag and drop the countries to the appropriate classification based on their type of government.
