Answer 1

to get the expected answer, u should have mentioned the word limit, however,i m writing a short article...
Yes, the govt. is responsible for making a nation , but is it not true that it was us, who had supported them to form that govt. and yes ,, they still expect to have our faith and support in the govt. The govt. is not the only authority held responsible for the development of the nation , the citizens of a country are also responsile for the same. The govt. cannot do anything without the support of the people. a democracy needs co-operation of the govt. and the citizens to formulate and work smoothly. If the people do not cooperate with the govt., there will be disputes and strikes and it will lead to instability of the  govt. YES, in a democracy ,we have have the rights to express disagreement ,but still, we should use our rights wisely and for the benefit of our country. to support the govt. , hovewer ,does not mean that we support  them in the wrong desicions also. If a govt. officialis corrupt , we should raise our voices against them.
it is  the citizens of a country who can build the nation.. the power of succession lies in our hand ;and we shall use our powers wisely.
