I have two American Government questions that I need answers to. 1. It was often said that "Mussolini made the trains run on time." Conversely, anyone who has spent time around a government bureaucratic agency or department is familiar with jokes about the inefficiency of those institutions. How does the above characterization of the efficiency of totalitarian government exemplify the definition of this type of government in the textbook? Collective decisions are harder the more those involved have to reconcile numerous and diverse voices. How does this make you feel about the "inefficiency" of government?

2. Citizenship requires a certain level of political knowledge, yet most Americans do not know much about politics. What types of political information are Americans most likely to possess? Do you think this is sufficient to fully participate in a democracy? What solutions, if any, would you suggest for Americans' lack of political knowledge?

each question has to be two paragraphs long (2 sentences each paragraph)
