Question

Which of these is not a good argument in favour of democracy? Why? 

(a) People feel free and equal in a democracy 

(b) Democracies resolve conflict in a better way than others 

(c) Democratic government is more accountable to the people 

(d) Democracies are more prosperous than others

Answer 1

Economic prosperity depends on many factors; like availability of natural resources, quality of human resources, finance, geopolitical scenario, etc. A particular form of government is some role to play, so it cannot be seen as a good argument in favour of democracy.
