Questions: According to the passage above, what term best defines the type of government established after Adolf Hitler gained power in Germany? Select one Democratic Autocracy absolute Monarchy socialist

The answer is Autocracy

A democratic government is one in which power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or through freely elected representatives. The passage clearly states that Adolf Hitler controlled virtually every aspect of government and the lives of the people, which is contrary to the principles of democracy.

An autocracy is a system of government in which one person has absolute power. The passage mentions that Hitler ruled with absolute power and that all the power of government rested in this one individual, which fits the definition of an autocracy.

An absolute monarchy is a form of government where a monarch has absolute control over the government and is not bound by laws or a constitution. While Hitler had absolute power, he was not a monarch but rather a dictator, so this term is not the most accurate.

Socialism is a political and economic theory advocating for collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. The passage does not mention any such economic policies or collective ownership, so this term does not apply.

Therefore, the term that best defines the type of government established after Adolf Hitler gained power in Germany is "Autocracy."
