Country X holds regular elections for a legislature, though most of its citizens have little faith in the validity of the results. Its powerful military operates largely outside of the control of the government, but it does not control the actions of the government. The government executive wields enormous power, but there is also a judiciary that occasionally rules on constitutional matters. A number of political parties compete with each other, but the government regularly restricts their campaigning activities. Based on this description, in which category could Country X most reliably be placed? a. patrimonial regime
b. corporatist regime
c. clientist regime
d. illiberal regime

Correct

d. illiberal regime

Explanation:

In the case of Country X, it could be classified to fall into illiberal regime due to the nature of the relationship between the central government, its military and its citizens.

For example, the central government fulfills its duty of holding an election for legislature while at same time limiting the activities of the election like specifying he number of political parties to contest the election. On the other-hand, the military ensures that there would be no dissident voice of oppositions to the activities of the government.

It also ensures that, absolute loyalty is maintained by the citizens towards the government. These actions go ahead to show that, Country X is not running a liberal government for the people but rather an illiberal regime.
