Solution
Political freedom is lost: When a democracy is overthrown by the military, the freedom to choose their leader is snatched away. Example: In Chile and Myanmar, people could not elect their leaders due to military rule.
Civil freedom is curtailed: There is no real freedom to express one's opinions, form political associations and organise protests and political action.
Democratic and constitutional rights are lost: Anyone can be put in prison for trivial reasons.
