Question

tow important feature of democracy: ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Democracy is the most successful political idea in the world.

Democracy allows ordinary people a decisive say in who governs a country and how they govern it. It is based on a system of government by all the citizens of a country, typically exercised through elected representatives.

The concept of democracy is broad and diverse. Every country has a unique democratic system, and countries will therefore be ‘differently democratic’.

(vi) Organised opposition party:

Another important characteristic of democracy is the presence of organised opposition party or parties in the state. Majority party forms the government and party with a minority in the legislature forms the opposition party.

The opposition party keeps an eye on the policies and working of the government. By criticising the wrong policies of the government, it forces the government to make laws and frame policies for the welfare of the people. It prevents the government from being dictatorial
