Answer:
A. elected a civilian government
Explanation:
The Chilean military dictatorship, also called Military Regime, was the dictatorial regime established in Chile between September 11, 1973 and March 11, 1990, and by extension to the period of Chilean history in which said government was in force.
The new regime was characterized by an authoritarian model, established on principles emanating from the extreme right, such as anti-communism, the legal prohibition of political parties (until 1987), the limitation of freedom of expression, the dissolution of the National Congress ( replaced by a Government Junta) and the lack of democracy. This was reflected in the systematic violations of human rights committed by the dictatorship, registering at least 28 259 victims of political prison and torture, 2298 executed and 1209 missing persons.
In 1980, after an irregular plebiscite, a new constitution was approved in which Pinochet reaffirmed his position as President of the Republic, while the governing board was limited to the legislative power. The constitutional text also established a series of provisions that would eventually allow the return to democracy as a result of the result of the plebiscite on October 5, 1988. In that referendum, the Chilean people denied Pinochet a new mandate and, consequently, , democratic presidential elections were held the following year. The military dictatorship ended in 1990 with the delivery of Augusto Pinochet's command to the new president Patricio Aylwin, thus beginning a new historical period known as the Transition to Democracy.
