Question

a democratic rule involves sharing power with those affected by its exercise who have to live with its affects.explain

Answer 1

Explanation:

• A democratic rule is chosen as per the wishes of the public.
• The people of the state choose who they want as their representative.
• In democratic rules, as mentioned in the question, the people are the ones who are directly effected by the power that is exercised by the government.
• Therefore the parliament consists of people from the public who take part in decision making. Every rule that is made needs to be shared with the public as they are the ones who will be following it.

Answer 2

A democratic rule functions on the principle of accountability and reciprocity. This means that the people who are elected to rule are answerable for their actions to the electorate. This is achieved through the process of elections by means of which the electorate expresses its approval or disapproval of the actions and policies of the incumbent government. Thus, accountability is achieved by sharing power with those who are affected by the policies executed by those in power. The policies of government have impacts on the lives of people who elect it to power. Thus, the government has to be answerable for its actions to them. At the macro level, this is achieved periodically through the exercise of elections. At the micro level, a vibrant and free press and civil society engage in discussions and dialogues to highlight the issues that concern public interest at large or even the interests of various sections of society and demand action from the government on these issues.
