How do you feel that democracy is better than any other form of government? Explain.

Democracy is better than any other form of government:

1. Promotes equality: One of democracy’s underlying principles is equality among citizens. It tries to stop discrimination on the basis of caste, religion, region or sex.


2. Enhances dignity of the individual: Democracy does not allow the dignity or the basic rights of a person to be violated.


3. Improves the quality of decision-making: Since decision-making power is not concentrated in one hand, democracy ensures an unbiased system of checks and balances.


Explanation: Democracy largely derives its power from the citizen itself. Unlike other forms of government, it prioritizes the welfare of citizens through the citizens themselves.
