Apolitical leader decides to increase his government's control over people's lives. he bans all forms of media that don't support him, sends secret police to attack his political enemies, and encourages citizens to inform the authorities about their neighbors' words and opinions. which type of government has the leader created?

The government the leader created is a dictatorship, dictatorships don't have  free speech, and the government leader can do quite literally anything he/she wants.

Totalitarianism APEX :)

In my honest opinion , i’d say franklin d roosevelt was a president that impacted our nation , i say this because fdr is voted among top three best us presidents and he was the longest serving president by 3 terms , usually presidents only supposed to have two terms increments of 4 years , equivalent to 8 years total before election time. and he established the fdic , through the 1933 banking act and he established the us , social security system , during his presidency, and established a national minimum wage , through the fair labor standards act , fdr led the allied coalition to victory in wwii and he played a major role in the creation of the united nations.
