Explanation:

Mussolini (Fascist Italy) and Hitler (Nazi Germany) established authoritarian, one-party dictatorships. They centralized power, suppressed political opposition, and eliminated democratic processes, so they did not expand people's power to participate in government. Their regimes did take actions that appeared to boost economies, reduce visible corruption/crime, and build up military forces, which initially gained them support.

Answer:

expanded the power of the people to have a say in their government.
