Question 7 Write a response to the following arguments against democracy:^

a. Army is the most disciplined and corruption-free organisation in the country. Therefore army should rule the country.

b Rule of the majority means the rule of ignorant people. What we need is the rule of the wise, even if they are in small numbers.

c. If we want religious leaders to guide us in spiritual matters, why not invite them to guide us in politics as well. The country should be ruled by religious leaders.

Answer :A democracy is the government elected by the people, from among the people themselves.
