Democracy is better than other forms of government because it allows us to correct our own mistakes. Discuss.

Ans.

(i) Democracy always offers scope for correction, which is impossible in any other form of government. No form of government is free from mistakes. Democracy also involves many mistakes. But the good thing is that it allows us to correct our own mistakes.

(ii) The advantage of democracy is that, if there is any mistake, it cannot remain hidden for long. Sooner or later the public comes to know about it. There is always scope for public discussion on these mistakes. And there is a room for correction.

(iii) Correction of mistakes makes either the rulers to change their decision or the rulers themselves can be changed through election. This cannot happen in a non-democratic government.
