Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Democracy is one of the ideologies and systems upon which Pakistan was sought to be established in 1947 as a nation-state, as envisaged by the leader and founding father of the nation, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Pakistan constitutionally is a democratic parliamentary republic with its political system based on an elected form of governance.

but we all know that Pakistan from its very first day faced a lot of challenges, so that’s why democracy didn’t flourish in Pakistan at its peak. There is no complete democracy in Pakistan, according to Maulana Maududi; there is Theo-democracy in Pakistan instead of the democracy. Democracy is a Western Political system implies the sovereignty of the people and as well as independent legislative power, while in Pakistan according to the political thoughts of the Maulana Maududi, the Islamic state is based upon the sovereignty of God. Theocracy (ilahi hukumat) in which people have limited power under the suzerainty of God. The concept of the divine sovereignty distinguished Islamic political system from the western political system. As Pakistan is Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Federation according to the constitution of 1973 we have both democratic and Theo-democratic system of Government.

while all political Parties used Democracy in their slogans and want to establish a Democratic Government.
