Question

2)Sharing of power make people more powerful. Given reasons ?​

Answer 1

1)The prudential reason for power sharing is good because it helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups. In India, seats have been reserved in the legislature for the socially weaker sections, keeping in mind this prudential reason for power sharing.   One more example of power sharing of moral reason is decentralization of powers in India. The moral reason for power sharing in India has an example in India, as it is a democratic country. People have a right to be consulted on how they are to be governed. Thus, the citizens have a stake in governance by having the power to vote in elections to select the people to govern them. This in turn, puts pressure on the government to govern them. This in turn, puts pressure on the government to rethink its policies and reconsider its decisions. This active political participation is the moral reason for power sharing.  

2)Yes,the sharing of power makes us more powerful.If power is not shared it gets accumulated in one individual who tends to abuse it because of the self centered nature of human beings.If power is shared it can be used more efficiently as more number of individuals exercise it. So more number of people will assume power and become powerful.
