Each of these statements contains a democratic and an undemocratic element. Write out the two separately for each statement.

(a) A minister said that some laws have to be passed by the parliament in order to confirm to the regulations decided by the World Trade Organization.


(b) The Election Commission ordered repelling in a constituency where large scale rigging was reported.


(c) Women's representation in the parliament has never reached 10 per cent. This led women's organizations to demand one-third seats for women.
