Q.2
Precis

Q.3 
1. According to Confucius, human society does not progress naturally. Rulers and people had certain

nature, is bound to appeal to every thinking man. It has a wide appeal because it is not based on any

Q.4
IS DEMOCRACY AN IDEAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT?
Since the days of Aristotle, democracy has been the ideal of political philosophers. Since the French
revolution, government of the people, by the people through their chosen representatives has been the
ideal form of government for all nations.
Democracy, socialism, secularism, and international peace are a nation’s goals. These goals are to be
achieved through democratic process. In a democracy, all decisions are taken collectively after discussion.
The consent of the people is taken through their elected representatives. The political party winning the World Times Urdu April 2020
majority of seats forms the government.
In such a set up individual citizens have an important role to perform. They have a special responsibility
of electing a good government and then keeping a watch on its performance. Their co-operations is
essential for successfully running a democratic government. Therefore the people too should be fully
aware of national and international problems. Only then would they be able to make the correct decision
and help the Government to function efficiently. History has proved that man has not been able to devise
a better system that democracy. It is, therefore, an ideal form of government.
