what are the flaws in a Democratic govt..class 9
Answers
Answer:
1) Indirect or representative democracy:
As the size of states is becoming larger and larger, we have to content ourselves with indirect or representative democracy. Very often, it is found that the elected representative is a power-loving person. They work for their personal interests and ignore the interest of the nation.
2) Lack of educated and experienced voters:
A large number of uneducated voters participate in the election process. They have no political experience and become victims of powerful people who deceive them with large promises and use them for their own private ends.
3) Equal voting right to both wise, average and innocent person:
The common people have no political experience. They don’t have the political wisdom. Ignorant people may or may not vote for the right candidate, while the innocent may only vote for the candidate who they are familiar with and at many times average people fail to accept new and familiar concepts. Therefore voting rights for all becomes a burden rather than a benefit.
4) Freedom to all shades of opinion:
Another charge against democracy is that as it gives freedom of expression to all shades of opinion. It easily leads to the formation of parties, whose only plan of action is to debate without reaching a decision.
5) Delay in decision making process:
The power is not centralized which delays the decision making process. A number of formalities are to be observed in decision making and adopting process. At times, it becomes difficult to take quick measures in the best interest of the country. This acts as an hindrance for economic growth and development.
