What form of state allows citizens the highest degree of control over the state?

A) authoritarian
B) totalitarian
C) democratic
D) charismatic
E) all of these choices

Democratic states allow citizens to have a greater degree of control over the state through regular elections, the ability to participate in decision-making processes, and the presence of checks and balances on government power. Authoritarian and totalitarian states tend to have more centralized decision-making with limited citizen input, and charismatic leadership can also lead to a concentration of power in the hands of one individual. Therefore, the highest degree of citizen control over the state is likely to be found in a democratic system.
