Introduction
The form of government and economic system play a critical role in shaping the liberty of citizens. There are two types of governments, and one is a democracy and the other is a dictatorship. However, economic systems vary in between different types, such as capitalism, mixed economy, or socialism. A democracy has a more independent status rather than a dictatorship. Which why it can be said that people have more liberty in a democracy (Kiley, 2014). Similarly, a socialist economic system would provide more liberty to its citizen, whereas a capitalist approach would be the only constraint for an aspect of liberty as it has an unequal distribution.
Thesis
The discussion of this essay would answer how the form of government and economic system affect the liberty of citizens by providing some specific examples.
Discussion
With every government reform and the economic system comes a change in the welfare of the state. The rules and regulations of each state decide the liberty of its citizens.
Conclusion
There are many examples of democracy and dictatorship which affected the liberty of citizens in many ways. Going back to World War 2, in 1939 the Nazi forces which were being ruled over by Hitler was a form of dictatorship. Due to his harsh rule, the citizens of Germany suffered a lot in terms of liberty. Similarly, an example of democracy can be stated as the age of Barrack Obama where American people were prosperous, happy and free. Due to these specific changes in government reforms, it certainly affects the economic systems. Countries such as Cuba, the Soviet Union, or North Korea have a communist economic system (Marx, & Engels, 1967). Whereas, countries which have a dictator, preferably have a more free market system which runs with a capitalist approach. Thus, the citizens are more likely to feel free in a command economy such as the one Soviet Union had.
