23. Read the Source given below and answer the questions that follow.

When we talk to people around us, most of them support democracy against other alternatives, such as

rule by monarchs or military or religious leaders. But not so many of them would be satisfied with

democracy in practice. So we face a dilemma, democracy is seen to be good in principal, but felt to be not

so good in practice. The dilemma invites us to think hard about the outcomes of democracy.

There are some things that democracy must provide. In a democracy, we are most concerned with

democracy ensuring that people will have the right to choose their rulers and people will have control

over rulers. Therefore, the most basic outcome of democracy is that it produces a government that is

accountable to its citizens and responsive to the needs and expectations of the citizens.f you consider all democracies and all dictatorships for fifty years between 1950 and 2000, dictatorship

had a slightly higher rate of economic growth. The inability of democracy to achieve higher economic

development worries us.But this alone alone cannot be reason to reject democracy.
