Q:- How does the system of democracy ensure that the voice of the minority are heard?
Answers
Answer:
Democracy ensures that the voice of the minority are heard. It does so by the following ways-
1. It gives all its citizen to vote in the election and hence participate in the government.
2. It gives everyone the right to freedom.
3. Everyone is equal before the law.
4. It also ensures reservation of seats for minority groups in the various departments.
Minority rights cover protection of existence, protection from discrimination and persecution, protection and promotion of identity, and participation in political life.
The main focus of the law is to create confidence in the mind of such minorities that they are protected by the law of the Constitution and also they are treated equally on par with the majority so that there would be no any kind of discrimination among the citizens.
Answer:
Democracy means balancing the rule of the majority with the rights of the minority. In each riding, a plurality of voters elects a member of the House of Commons, and a majority of those elected representatives together form the governing party. They represent the rule of the majority in our democracy.
