Explain it

3.2.7 β€” 2 short write-ups

Question 1 of 2

A checkpoint, not a test

Sort out Socialism, Communism, and social democracy

In a few sentences, explain how Socialism, Communism, and social democracy relate to each other β€” they aren't three unrelated systems.

One is the broad goal. The other two are different paths to reaching it.

Question 2 of 2

A checkpoint, not a test

Power without authority

Using the course's own idea (not necessarily the exact mugger example), explain the difference between power and authority, and why a government can have one without the other.

Think about where each one comes from β€” fear versus being recognized as having the right to rule.
