    Democracy provides several key outcomes and benefits to citizens. It produces a government that is accountable to the citizens and responsive to their needs through elections and participation. Cornerstones of democracy include freedoms like speech, religion, and minority rights. While democracy may not guarantee economic development or alleviate poverty, it has succeeded in enhancing dignity and freedom for citizens by allowing oppressed groups to assert themselves. Democracy also generates its own legitimacy as the form of government people wish to be ruled by. However, some argue it can frustrate needs and ignore demands if certain populations.

    CHAPTER- OUTCOMES OF DEMOCRACY


    Very short questions- answers

    1. A democratic government is a better government because it is an accountable form of


    government. Democracy improves the quality of decision making. Democracy provides a
    method to deal with differences and conflicts. Democracy enhances the dignity of citizens.
    2. In democracies, every citizen vote has the same value irrespective of gender, caste, religion,
    or race. This ensures political equality among its citizens.
    3. Cornerstones of democracy include freedom of assembly, association, property
    rights, freedom of religion and speech, inclusiveness and equality, citizenship,
    consent of the governed, voting rights, freedom from unwarranted governmental
    deprivation of the right to life and liberty, and minority rights.
    5.The most basic outcome of democracy is that it produces a government that is
    accountable to the citizens, and responsive to the needs and expectations of the
    citizens. Transparency and accountability is one of the most essential feature of
    democracy.

    SHORT QUESTIONS ANSWERS –


    1. Democracy is a system of government which is chosen by the entire population or
    other eligible members of the state through elected representatives. A dictatorship is
    a form of government where a single individual or group of people wield power
    without any limitations to constitutional authority.
    2. Democracy is accountable and responsive to the needs and expectations of the
    citizens because: 1) In a democracy people have the right to choose their
    representatives and the people will have control over them. 2) Citizens have the right
    to participate in decision making that affects them all.
    3. It is true some people think that democracy produces a less effective government
    because: i Non-democratic rulers do not have to bother about deliberation in assemblies
    or worry about majorities and public opinion. ii They can be very quick and efficient in
    decision-making and implementation.iii But democracy is based on the idea of
    deliberation and negotiation. So some delay is bound to take place. iv Most democracies
    fall short of elections that provide a fair chance to everyone. v Democratic governments
    do not have a very good record when it comes to sharing information with citizens. vi
    Democracies often frustrate the needs of the people and often ignore the demands of a
    majority of its population.
    4. Democracy Produces Legitimate Government: A democratic government is
    people's own government. People wish to be ruled by representatives elected by
    them. They also believe that democracy is suitable for their country. Democracy's
    ability to generate its own support is itself an outcome that cannot be ignored.

    LONG QUESTIONS ANSWERS


    1. The democracy doesn't guarantee economic development. In most of the
    democracies, a small number of ultra-rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of
    wealth and income. For example, countries like South Africa and Brazil, the
    top 20% people take away more than 60 % of the national income.
    2. Explanation: Democracy has been succeeded in dignity and freedom
    citizens. For example : In India, long history oppression was faced by social
    groups, Now they are in a position to assert themselves Due to the democratic
    process and also people have been able to move up the social ladder.
    3. Those at the bottom of the society have very little to depend upon. Their incomes
    have been declining. iv Democracies often frustrate the needs of the people and
    often ignore the demands of a majority of its population. The routine talks of
    corruption are enough to convince us that democracy is not free of this evil.
    4. A democratic government is a better government because it is an accountable
    form of government. Democracy improves the quality of decision making.
    Democracy provides a method to deal with differences and conflicts. Democracy
    enhances the dignity of citizens.
    OR
    Five characteristics of Democracy are Elected Representatives, Independent
    Judiciary, Civil Liberties, Organised Opposition Party, and Rule of Law.
