The Section-E of class 10 social science sample paper (from Questions no 34 to 36) is case-based questions with three sub-questions and are of 4 marks each. These questions are subjective in nature.

Social Science Case Study Question: Sample

Power sharing arrangements can also be seen in the way political parties, pressure groups, and movements control or influence those in power. In a democracy, the citizens must have the freedom to choose among various contenders for power. In contemporary democracies, this takes the form of competition among different parties. Such competition ensures that power does not remain in one hand. In the long run, power is shared among different political parties that represent different ideologies and social groups. Sometimes this kind of sharing can be direct when two or more parties form an alliance to contest elections. If their alliance is elected, they form a coalition government and thus share power. In a democracy, we find interest groups such as those of traders, businessmen, industrialists, farmers and industrial workers. They also will have share in governmental power, either through participation in governmental committees or bringing influence on the decision-making process.

a) ‘Power sharing is an essential component of democracy.’ Give one example to prove the statement.

b) How is alliance building an example of power-sharing?

c) How political parties, pressure groups, and movements help in controlling or influencing those who are in power?
