Answer 1

Answer:

Joseph's statement is the most logical, and thus, should be agreed on. Every society needs some form of power-sharing even if it is small or does not have social divisions. A democratic society is one where its members or citizens through participation acquire a stake in the system. Power-sharing not only prevents conflict between various groups in the society but it also generates a sense of belongingness among them to society. Power-sharing helps to maintain a balance of power among various institutions and also keep a check on how it is exercised. Irrespective of the size of a country or the type of a society, people will be more satisfied where they have a say in the functioning and decision making processes of the system
