1) propaganda
2) censorship
3) social pressure
4) education programs
5) imprisonment

The correct answer is:

1. propaganda

2. censorship

4. education programs

Explanation:

Totalitarian governments are those that control all aspects of the nation, from politics to economic systems and the private lives and properties of their citizens. In order to obtain massive support and defeat the opposition, totalitarian leaders use certain techniques to persuade and to help them control the masses, such as police terror (use of violence to force the population) and indoctrination.

Indoctrination refers to teaching the population to accept the same ideals, and beliefs without questioning. The methods that are used for indoctrination on totalitarian governments include propaganda (to influence the society with messages the government want to spread), censorship (to control the opposition) and education programs (to help them shape the society into not questioning their government).

b) a state law could be declared illegal if it contradicted the constitution.

explanation:

the conflict of this case originated when james w. mcculloch, a cashier of the baltimore branch of the second bank of the united states that the congress had chartered in 1816, refused to pay a tax imposed by the maryland state.

in the case, the state of maryland appealed that the establishment of a second bank was unconstitutional since the constitution didn't say anything about granting that power to congress. however, the case determined that even if such right wasn't specifically stated in the constitution, it was part of the "implied powers" of the government enunciated in article i, section 8.

the case also eliminated maryland's legislation to impose taxes to a national bank, asserting that even though the states retained the power of taxation, the constitution's laws are supreme and can not be controlled by the states, therefore, if a state law contradicts the constitution, it should be declared illegal.
