Distinguish between democratic and non-democratic conditions.

Democracy is a form of government where the rulers get elected by the people and contrary to this is a nondemocratic form.

• In non-democratic form, people have no say in the decision of electing a ruler. In a democracy, people elect their leader.

• A nondemocratic government may respond to people’s need, but it all depends on the wishes of people who rule. In a democracy the ruler is accountable to the nation hence must listen to the demands of the people.

• There is no consultation or discussion in nondemocracy while taking any decision; a ruler does what he wishes.

• In nondemocratic government, there is accountability as the mistakes are either kept hidden from public or their feedback is not considered.
