Question

why was mexico considered a single - party state? there was only one political party in the history of the country. one party dominated the government and all political institutions. one party controlled politics, while another controlled the economy. the constitution declared only one party could be in control at a time.

Explanation:

To determine why Mexico was a single - party state, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Mexico has had multiple political parties throughout its history, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: In Mexico's history, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) dominated the government and all political institutions for a long time. This fits the definition of a single - party state where one party holds significant control over the political system.
• Option 3: There was no such division of political and economic control by different parties that would define a single - party state.
• Option 4: Mexico's constitution does not declare that only one party can be in control at a time.

Answer:

B. One party dominated the government and all political institutions.
