own
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Indian Emergency in 1975 was more than the product of an ambitious prime minister. Yes, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s zeal played a decisive role in spurring the crisis, but this democratic hiccup had deeper-seated causes. In 1975, unpredictable political tension and a paralyzing economic crisis proved deadly for Indian democracy, and this failure, as we will see through Alexis de Tocqueville’s applicable work, Democracy in America, was, to an extent, a product of the Indian idea and system of democracy. The poorly built government had proven unable to cultivate respect of the democratic institutions and methods, which opened to the door to greater instability and chaos. In such an environment, a constitutional crisis is largely inevitable, and a leader’s zeal and a judge’s ambitions merely realized that potential. The Indian story, then, is one of poor founding, unsafe traditions, and unreasonable politics — the perfect storm to bring democracy crashing down.
