KEY POINTS.

The U.S. is a democracy where all citizens over the age of 18 have the opportunity to vote for their leaders. The Soviet Union believed in communism – a system where the government controls and owns the nations natural and capital resources.During the Cold War, the United States remained a democratic republic with a capitalistic economic system. Whereas the USSR, was a communist nation with a dictatorship. Until Stalin dies, the country is not holding elections however after the USSR will move more toward an election process.

Explanation:

Not only was the Soviet Union communist, they were totalitarian, meaning all the power was with the rulers. The United States was capitalist which meant that people could own land and businesses and compete for themselves. This led to a stark contrast between poor and rich.

Best Of Luck
