Fascism
Describe how the government functions. Is there a written plan? Describe?
Fascist states follow the “Führerprinzip (‘leadership principle’)” (Saxena), which is the idea that the party and the state should have one leader with total control. This is really the only “written plan” needed for creating a fascist government.
Who holds the power to lead? What powers or authority does the leader hold? How are the leader(s) chosen? How long can they lead?
The power of leading is put solely in one person, they have all the authority; they rule until they die or are killed. Fascist regimes are founded by one leader and end when that leader dies
What is the law-making process? How are laws decided and executed (carried out)?

Laws have to be voted on and passed by both houses before it moves onto the president to be passed or vetoed. Congress can override a veto. A law is judged by the judicial branch as to wether or not it follows the constitution; if a law does not follow the constitution it gets changed or removed. Laws are executed by police and governmental agencies. People are prosecuted by the judicial system.
What is the judicial process? Is there a rule of law? Explain.
The courts follow the rule “innocent until proven guilty.” The decision of “to incarcerate or to not incarcerate” is made by a jury of randomly selected people that vote based on evidence and decide if someone is innocent or guilty. There is a rule of law; no matter class the charge is the same.
Are there “checks and balances?” Is there a separation of power? What role do citizens have in the political process?
There are checks and balances. The executive branch can veto laws passed by the legislative branch as well as appoint judges to the judicial branch. Congress can override vetoes and impeach the president as well as impeach judges of the supreme court and makes the lower courts. The judicial branch can declare executive acts as unconstitutional as well as declare acts of congress unconstitutional. The people vote for the president and representatives in congress and senators in the senate.

Is there a written plan? Describe?
Socialist governments have a similar structure to the U.S. government: the people vote, laws are made by a legislator, there is a constitution.
Who holds the power to lead? What powers or authority does the leader hold? How are the leader(s) chosen? How long can they lead?
The leader can go by different names but they essentially have the same powers as a president of the U.S. Term length and limit can vary between states. Exact process for voting can also be different (the U.S. uses electoral colleges, for example, to protect areas with little population).
What is the law-making process? How are laws decided and executed (carried out)?
Again, this is similar to the U.S. Laws are made by the legislative branch and executed by police and other
the legislative branch makes the laws for the country. I believe this because in the past articles i have read i have gathered my information and these are some of them. The house and the senate both need to pass a law, has to sign it to make it an actual law. The legislative branch makes the laws
Was the leader appointed or did the leader earn or 'self-select ' the leadership role?
The Constitution separates the power of government into three branches: the legislative power is vested in the Congress, the executive power rests with the President and his bureaucracy and the judicial power is granted to the Supreme Court and other federal courts. Whereas each branch of government has separate and particular powers as listed in the Constitution, each branch is also given the power, duty and ability to control and balance the other(s) in a system of checks and balances.
The constitution of the United States divides the federal government into three branches to make sure no individual or group will have too much power. They are the Executive (President and about 5,000,000 workers), Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives), and Judicial (Supreme Court and lower courts). These ensure the government is effective and citizens’ rights are protected, each branch has their own power and responsibilities, including working with the other branches. The executive power enforces the law while the legislative power makes new laws and amends existing laws. Judicial power has the authority to review the constitutionality of laws.
Each of the three branches is controlled by the other two in several ways. The president can veto a law which was passed by Congress, yet Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds vote of both houses. Members of the Supreme Court, which are appointed by the president and approved by Congress, can declare a law passed by Congress is unconstitutional. The U.S. Constitution, Article 1 Section 1, states that the legislative branch be created from two separate bodies: a House of Representatives and a Senate, together is known as Congress.
The government in our community has three branches. The legislative branch which makes the laws, the executive branch to enforce the laws, and the judicial branch to interpret the laws. The laws that are created are first appointed by the president, and then approved by the senate. Citizens in our community can suggest laws to the government, but cannot legally
Checks and Balances. Checks and balances is a system that is a part of out U.S. Constitution. This system was put in to place so that no part of government would have too much power. The three branches: judicial, legislative and executive are constantly granting and checking the other branches actions, this is to make sure no one person can gain an excessive amount of control in government. For example according to ," the legislative branch is in charge of making laws. The executive branch can veto the law, thus making it harder for the legislative branch to pass the law. The judicial branch may also say that the law is unconstitutional and thus make sure it is not a law.The legislative branch can also remove a president or judge that is not doing his/her job properly. The executive branch appoints judges and the legislative branch approves the choice of the executive branch. Again, the branches check and balance each other so that no one branch has too much power".
Fascist techniques are often used to help benefit a political party in power’s political views, which often seeks to manipulate individuals into thinking a collective view and an ideology to help benefiting society. These techniques are often used to give an authoritarian government attempt to control aspects of life and society.
A leader is “the person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country.” An individual that exemplifies this is, Joe Biden, the former Vice President of the United States of America, under President Barack Obama from 2008 to 2017. Biden is a graduate from the University of Delaware, and earned his law degree from Syracuse University. Biden has had experience practicing law, politics, education, and being the Vice President of the United States.
Leader has the final say in state matters and can appoint and sack leaders without consulting
Fascism is a problem that originated in the early 1920’s and rose to worldwide prominence during World War II. Leaders who are fascists run an authoritative, hierarchy government and dictate with harsh nationalist, racist, prejudiced power. Although fascism was viewed as a horrible attribute after the Holocaust, some leaders, or even regular everyday people demonstrate signs that they are becoming a fascist. Fascism may seem like a “thing of the past” or “so last century”, but it is still something that should be avoided for years to come. Fascism has proved to be a problem in the past, but it can be obliterated, with the message of human equality, natural rights, and responsibilities.
A leader is a person who influences a group of people towards the achievement of a goal. The types of leaders vary but in this case, we will be dealing with the religious and political leaders. A religious leader is one who is recognized by a religious body as having some authority within that body while a political leader is a person actively engaged in politics especially a full time professional member of a deliberate assembly. A political leader can also be a person who is experienced or skilled in the art or science of politics, government or government administration.
The idea of control hindering individual freedom to an extreme was explicably shown in the World War I years, as the Fascist regime sought complete control over the state and limited the freedom of all individuals who held no power. This is shown in The Doctrine of Fascism, when it explains the Fascist approach to freedom. In the Doctrine, it says, “the individual exists only in so far as he is within the State and subjected to the requirements of the stay… as civilization assumes aspects which grow more and more complicated, individual freedom becomes more and more restricted” (Gentile 12) This quote shows that the Fascist regime, using its ultimate control, is able to eliminate freedom as their regime progresses and thus has a larger impact on civilization. The Fascist powers aim at creating a state that “represents continuity into the future” (Gentile 12). This serves to say that the Fascist state is one that implies that they will protect the individual and is one that signifies the future to come, a future that cannot be destroyed because of its ultimate power. The idea of having ultimate power represents the Fascist’s ultimate restriction of freedom. In a civilization like Freud discusses, absolute power could not result because this restriction of freedom hurts others. This idea of continuity into the future points back to Freud’s argument that people will give up their freedom in order to attain a sense of security. Fascism takes this notion to the extreme, however,
While the general ideology was technically developed by Italian Dictator and ally to Hitler, Benito Mussolini, it is Adolf Hitler himself who is best known as the face of fascist movements of the past and movements today. In early 1930’s Germany, Hitler was able to capitalize on the social and economic woes of a country who felt disenfranchised and left behind by the world. By promoting ideas of German nationalism including a strong German military, a strong pure German culture and nation, and using minority groups such as the Jew’s as a scapegoat, Hitler was able to take control of Germany and institute a Fascist system of government and create the similar ideological trends we see in Fascist idea’s and similar groups today.
Fascism is a totalitarian political system that is headed by a popular leader and in which a single political party and carefully controlled violence from the bases of complete social and political control. Fascism derives from the term fasces. Fascism had a powerful influence from the 1920s to 1940s. There are different examples of fascism such as the axis powers during World War II such as Germany, Italy, and Japan. Italy was a fascist county before Germany. It became a fascist country under Benito Mussolini. He used the word fascist in 1919. He formed the Black Shirt Militia as a party to promote violence. Italy organized private companies into 22 sectors and had Fascist party members as senior participants. Fascism spread to Germany under the reign of Adolf Hitler. Hitler was influenced by Mussolini when he took power. Other examples of fascism are Spain, Portugal, and Hungary.
