A. Could a totalitarian society ever exist in the United States? Why or why not?

No, A totalitarian government could never exist in the United States. It would not succeed because there are too many people living here that won't let that happen. There always is some form of control to keep people in line, but it will never be to the extent of a totalitarian government.

B. Is a totalitarian society free of crime, poverty and national security threats better than a free society plagued with crime, poverty and threats of attacks?

No, it is not better because there will always be at least one person who doesn’t follow the rules, so there is no way to get rid of all crime, threats and poverty.

C.How important is the leader or figurehead of a totalitarian regime? Can a totalitarian government exist without one?

A leader is important because it keeps everyone in line. With one leader everything is more organized. Without a leader there would be controversy and it would turn chaotic. If there were more than one ruler, things would take longer to get done.
