Ans) Transition to democracy: Costa Rica
- Meanwhile, Costa Rica suffered an interruption in its march toward democratic, civilian-controlled government.
- When the country held an election under direct suffrage for the first time, in 1913, no candidate won a majority, and the Legislative Assembly chose Alfredo González Flores as president.
- Disgruntled over tax reforms proposed by González, Gen. Federico Tinoco Granados in 1917 led one of the country’s few coups. Tinoco’s despotic behaviour soon cost him his popularity. His administration was also impeded by the refusal of the U.S. government to recognize his regime, and revolts and the threat of U.S. intervention caused him to resign in 1919.
- This experiment in dictatorship was not repeated, and Costa Rica continued its tradition of democratic elections and orderly government.
- A literacy test for voters was adopted in 1920 and the secret ballot in 1925. Costa Rica’s most serious political crisis since 1917 came in 1948. Former president Rafael Angel Calderón Guardia (1940–44) formed an unusual political coalition consisting of members of the communist Popular Vanguard Party and the Catholic Church to bring about significant improvement in workers’ conditions and social security. Some thought the coalition went too far when it tried to prevent the seating of the president-elect, Otilio Ulate, a Social Democrat. José Figueres Ferrer, an outspoken landowner who favoured a greater role for state enterprise, organized local and foreign militia and trained them at his farm. His army, which evolved into the National Liberation Party(Partido Liberación Nacional; PLN), launched a successful rebellion against the government and sparked a brief civil war in which about 2,000 civilians were killed.
- The war ended after a compromise was reached under which Figueres promised to restore order, to preserve some of Calderón’s reforms, and to then turn over the presidency to Ulate. Figueres led the country for 18 months.
- A new constitution, promulgated in 1949 by Figueres’s regime, prohibited the establishment or maintenance of an army, established women’s suffrage, strengthened the electoral tribunal, abolished institutionalized racism, nationalized the banking system, and gave great powers to state corporations, known as autonomousagencies.
- Then, as promised, the junta turned the government over to Ulate. Figueres was elected twice in his own right, in 1953 and again in 1970, establishing his PLN as the dominant group in the Legislative Assembly.

In C++ Create a class called MyInteger. It should have a field of type pointer-to-int called pInteger. It should have a constructor that takes as a parameter an int - the constructor will then dynamically allocate memory for an int, using pInteger, and assign the parameter's value to that memory. The class should have a destructor that will deallocate that memory when the object is destroyed. You should write a copy constructor that will correctly make a separate copy of...
