Question

Read the given extract and answer the following questions.

In a democracy, we are most concerned with ensuring that people will have the right to choose

their rulers and people will have control over the rulers. Whenever possible and necessary, citizens

should be able to participate in decision making, that affects them all. Therefore, the most basic

outcome of democracy should be that it produces a government that is accountable to the citizens,

and responsive to the needs and expectations of the citizens. Some people think that democracy

produces less effective government. It is, of course, true that non-democratic rulers are very quick

and efficient in decision making and implementation, whereas, democracy is based on the idea of

deliberation and negotiation. So, some delay is bound to take place. But, because it has followed

procedures, its decisions may be both more acceptable to the people and more effective. Moreover,

when citizens want to know if a decision was taken through the correct procedures, they can find

this out. They have the right and the means to examine the process of decision making. This is

known as transparency. This factor is often missing from a non-democratic government. There is

another aspect in which democratic government is certainly better than its alternatives:

democratic government is legitimate government. It may be slow, less efficient, not always very

responsive, or clean. But a democratic government is people’s own government.
