Question

Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people. Which best explains President Wilson’s use of the word "autocratic"?

Answer 1

Answer:

President Wilson used the word "autocratic" to refer to governments that the head of state has unlimited control of the nation.

Explanation:

An autocratic government is a type of government in which all the power of control of the nation is in the hands of a single person who controls the nation the way he wants and no one can prevent it. An example of this type of government can be seen in countries under the dictatorial regime. In this regime, all public laws, decisions and policies are based solely on what the government wants.

In other words, in an autocratic government, the leader has unlimited power, and can have highly damaging and petty decisions that put society not only in danger, but often in very poor living conditions.
