 b. republic

Further detail:

A republic differs from a democracy in that when a government is fully a democracy, that means voting and participation in government by all citizens.  A republic may limit voting and political rights to certain types of citizens.  Many republics in history, for instance, have limited voting rights to those who owned a certain amount of property.  Britain was like that for a long time, and the United States started out that way as well.

We think of the United States today as a democratic republic, because voting rights are granted to all citizens age 18 or older, but voters elect representatives who serve in the government of the republic on their behalf.

- a government ruled by the people, or assembly. officials monarchy - a single ruler like a king. over time some city-states, like athens would change governments. what this means is that all the citizens voted on all the laws.

i think the answer is: cuba wanted to be independent from spain, and the u.s. wanted to end spanish rule in the west.
