 Diệm used the Ministry of Information 's electoral education campaign as a partisan political tool . Instead of using it purely to explain the democratic process , the campaign was used to extol Diệm and his allies . After explaining what democracy was , a pamphlet outlined why <unk> a chief @-@ of @-@ state is a vital act . After elaborating on the powers of the head of state , the pamphlet went on to champion Diệm as an anti @-@ communist who could defend people 's freedom , while explaining why Bảo Đại was unfit to lead , saying that he did not have respect among the international community .
