Educational worksheet focusing on government limitations, featuring tasks on checks and balances, historical sequencing, and a comparison of control systems.

Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.

Part A: Mark It Up

This part asks you to circle four things that show how Fujimori kept power in check. Since we don’t have the full text of the article, we can’t know for sure what those four things are — but based on history and common knowledge about Fujimori:

1. He dissolved Congress (called “autogolpe”) → gave him more control.
2. He ruled by decree → made laws without approval.
3. He changed the constitution → allowed himself to run again.
4. He used the military and police to suppress protests → kept order by force.

So if you’re marking up the text, look for sentences that mention these actions and circle them.

Also, underline the section where Fujimori took his goals of one of those choices — probably where he says he wanted to fix the economy or stop terrorism.

Then draw a box around the bad things that happened after he kept power — like corruption, human rights abuses, or loss of democracy.

*(Note: Since this is a reading-based task, exact answers depend on the original article — but these are the most likely correct choices.)*

Part B: Sequence

We need to put the events in order from 1 to 8, starting with the first thing that happened.

Let’s list the events:

A. Fujimori successfully solves economic problems and terrorism → This is later, after he’s in power.

B. Fujimori tries to solve economic crisis, but runs into too many obstacles → Early, before he takes extreme measures.

C. Fujimori is sentenced to 6 years in prison in Peru → Happens after he leaves office.

D. Fujimori dissolves Congress and says the constitution can be ignored → This is the “autogolpe” — big turning point.

E. President Fujimori flees to Japan → After scandals and pressure.

F. Fujimori is elected president of Peru → First time he becomes president.

G. Fujimori uses tanks and tear gas to stop Congress from meeting → Part of the autogolpe, right after dissolving Congress.

H. Spanish police arrest Fujimori while in Fujimori government → Actually, he was arrested in Japan later — probably means arrested in Japan while still claiming to be president.

Wait — let’s reorder logically:

1. F – Fujimori is elected president (first step)
2. B – Tries to fix economy, hits obstacles
3. D – Dissolves Congress and ignores constitution (autogolpe)
4. G – Uses force to stop Congress from meeting (part of same event as D)
5. A – Solves economy and terrorism (after taking control)
6. E – Flees to Japan (after scandals)
7. H – Arrested by Spanish police (actually, he was arrested in Japan, then extradited — maybe “Spanish police” is a mistake? But we’ll go with the worksheet)
8. C – Sentenced to 6 years in Peru

Actually, H says “Spanish police arrest Fujimori while in Fujimori government” — that doesn’t make sense because he wasn’t in government when arrested. Probably meant “while in Japan” or “after fleeing.” Let’s assume it’s after he flees.

Correct sequence:

1. F – Elected president
2. B – Tries to solve economy, hits obstacles
3. D – Dissolves Congress, ignores constitution
4. G – Uses tanks/tear gas to stop Congress (same time as D)
5. A – Successfully solves economy and terrorism
6. E – Flees to Japan
7. H – Arrested (probably in Japan, then extradited)
8. C – Sentenced to 6 years

But wait — H says “Spanish police arrest Fujimori while in Fujimori government” — that’s confusing. Historically, he was arrested in Japan in 2005, then extradited to Peru. Spanish police weren’t involved directly — maybe it’s a typo. We’ll follow the worksheet’s wording.

Actually, looking again: “Spanish police arrest Fujimori while in Fujimori government” — that must be wrong. He wasn’t in government when arrested. Probably meant “while in Japan” or “after fleeing.”

Let’s stick with historical accuracy:

Final order:

1. F – Elected president
2. B – Tries to fix economy, fails
3. D – Dissolves Congress
4. G – Uses force against Congress (same as D)
5. A – Solves economy and terrorism
6. E – Flees to Japan
7. H – Arrested (in Japan, maybe misstated as Spanish police)
8. C – Sentenced to 6 years

But since the worksheet says “Spanish police,” perhaps they mean he was arrested in Spain? No — he was arrested in Japan. Maybe it’s a mistake. For the sake of the worksheet, we’ll use:

Sequence:

1. F
2. B
3. D
4. G
5. A
6. E
7. H
8. C

Part C: Pros and Cons

Benefits of any leader (even one who takes total control):

- Can make quick decisions
- Can push through big changes fast
- Can stop chaos or violence quickly
- Can focus on one goal without arguing

Drawbacks:

- No one checks their power → can become corrupt
- People lose freedom and rights
- Mistakes aren’t corrected
- Can lead to dictatorship or abuse

Leader: Alberto Fujimori

Benefits:
- Fixed Peru’s economy
- Defeated terrorist groups like Shining Path
- Made government work faster

Drawbacks:
- Dissolved Congress illegally
- Ignored constitution
- Used military to crush protests
- Went to jail for crimes later

Now, let’s write the final answer as requested.

Final Answer:
A. Circle: Fujimori dissolved Congress, ruled by decree, changed constitution, used military/police. Underline: section where he states his goals. Box: corruption, human rights abuses, loss of democracy.
B. Sequence: 1-F, 2-B, 3-D, 4-G, 5-A, 6-E, 7-H, 8-C
C. Benefits: Quick decisions, fixes economy, stops terrorism. Drawbacks: No checks, loses freedom, corruption, abuse. Fujimori: Benefits = fixed economy, stopped terrorists; Drawbacks = broke rules, jailed later.
