Democracy, which was promoted by the United States during the Cold War, can best be described as:
•	A government system where the people have the power to elect officials
•	A government system where the government has complete control over all aspects of life
•	A government system where a only rich land owners have power

anonymous · Answer

Democracy is *supposed to be* where the people elect the officials into power, regardless of when it was promoted. During the Cold War, we were against the Soviet Union (A communist nation) therefore it'd make sense that any option promotion communism / fascism would be omitted.
