The responsibilities of a citizen who lives in a democracy are similar in some ways to those of a citizen in a totalitarian state. For example, a citizen under either system is expected to pay taxes and vote.
However, there are important differences between the two systems. In a democracy, a citizen is expected to respect the rights and opinions of others. The state encourages citizens to become involved in community groups and allows political protest. In a democracy, a citizen has more rights and freedom to carry out his duties. The state exists for the good of the citizen.
In a totalitarian society, the state controls every aspect of human life, and the citizen exists for the good of the state. The primary responsibility of the citizen is to obey and follow. The citizen can vote for only government-approved candidates. The ruling party members or people who support them fill all offices and law-making bodies. Some criticism of the state may be allowed. However, any citizen activity that could interfere with the state, such as a protest march, is outlawed in a totalitarian state

-- Exhibit -At the end of the Civil War, at a time period called Reconstruction, the U.S. government
planned to rebuild and re-establish the states that had been a part of the Confederacy. Supporting the former slaves as free citizens (freedmen) was one important goal of the federal government. Radical Republicans, mostly Northerners, pushed for federal legislation that granted the vote to freedmen. Gradually, by the 1880s, however, many states enforced policies that restricted the freedmen's right to vote. In that instance, Reconstruction has been evaluated as a failure.

On March 5, 1946, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill spoke in Fulton, Missouri. Excerpts from that address follow:
"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and
Eastern Europe. All these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence, but to a very high and, in many cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow."
"If the Western democracies stand together in strict adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter their influence for furthering those principles will be immense, and none is likely to molest them..."
