Explanation:

During Brazil's military dictatorship (1964-1985), military leaders used multiple tactics to suppress democracy. Regulating political parties allowed them to limit opposition and control the political landscape. Controlling elections ensured only regime-friendly candidates or outcomes were permitted, undermining democratic representation. They also targeted dissenters through kidnapping, arrest of opponents including legislators, and extrajudicial killings; among these, the three most direct and widely documented systemic tactics to block democratic processes are regulating parties, controlling elections, and arresting opposition legislators.
