[1x4]
The idea of power-sharing has emerged in opposition to the notions of undivided political power.
For a long time it was believed that all power of a government must reside in one person or group
of persons located at one place. It was felt that if the power to decide is dispersed, it would not
be possible to take quick decisions and to enforce them. But these notions have changed with the
emergence of democracy. One basic principle of democracy is that people are the source of all
political power. In a democracy, people rule themselves through institutions of self-government.
In a good democratic government, due respect is given to diverse groups and views that exist
in a society. Everyone has a voice in the shaping of public policies. Therefore, it follows that in
a democracy political forms of power-sharing should be distributed among as many citizens as
possible.
