Explanation:

President Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech was given to express and reveal his take on freedom of democracy, both local and abroad. In his speech, the President defines what freedom means at home and even for other nations, and also shows his determination to help such nations achieve and maintain their peace.

In the speech, President Roosevelt proclaimed, "We are putting forth our energies, our resources, and our organizing powers to give you the strength to regain and maintain a free world." And not only that, he reiterates that America's "purpose and pledge" is to help democracies all over the world maintain and defend their freedom.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
