Question

Legal-constitutional changes by themselves cannot overcome challenges to democracy.Justify the statement with an example. what is the meaning of this question ?

Answer 1

Legal constitutional changes by themselves overcome challenges to democracy....so if any law is made to ban something for doing good for the country, it doesn't mean it will actually bring a good society. It is totally dependent on the political parties and sitting minister and the ruling government. It depends on how they see the law . Whether they'll implement it properly or not. Some ministers and parties are more concerned about themselves and not the citizens. So if the law made affects the ministers and political parties then they obviously won't implement the law and they keep the Bill pending for years as it won't benefit them....
It's like rules of cricket....the change in in rules for LBW decisions helped to reduce negative batting tactics l. But no would ever think that change in the rules would improve quality if cricket. This changes can be done only by the acceptance of players and coaches who play and the administrators

Answer 2

There are many challenges to democracy, like economic inequality, poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, regional imbalances, casteism, communalism, etc. The Parliament has time and again passed many laws to remove all such hindrances and challenges.

There is not a single held which has not been touched and reformed. But legal challenges alone cannot overcome challenges to democracy.

As there are strict laws against dowry, but still this evil persists and there is not a single day when we do not hear dowry deaths.

What is required is the cooperation of the citizens, i.e. the mindset of the citizens should be changed. They need to be reasonable, active, cooperative and willing to perform their duties. Legal constitutional changes and the cooperation of the citizens are the need of the hour.

Thus, legal constitutional changes by themselves cannot overcome challenges to democracy.
