Question

The better ways to resolve conflicts in society is provided by the ________
A. Monarchy
B. Democracy
C. Oligarchy
D. Tyranny

Answer 1

Hint: Democracy is defined as the government of the people, for the people and by the people. It is considered a better form of government than others such as anarchy, oligarchy, dictatorship etc.

Complete answer: Democracy provides for separation of powers between different organs of the government. The executive, the legislature and the judiciary. The judiciary is independent of the working of the other two organs. Therefore the best way to resolve conflicts is through an independent judiciary. The only form of government that offers such an institution is democracy. The judiciary takes care of the people's conflicts and disputes. It takes into account the complications and issues of the common people and therefore attempts to resolve it through mediation, arbitration and damages. In cases of grave offences, in India, there is punishment allotted according to the Constitution, Criminal Procedure Code and Indian Penal Code. Democracy, hence ensures that there is no pressure from the other two organs of the government and that the conflicts are peacefully resolved. In a democracy, there should be absolutely no political pressure whatsoever.

Therefore option “B” is the correct answer.

Note: Recently, the Economist Intelligence Unit released the Democracy Index for 2019. Norway stood first while North Korea was at the bottom. Out of 167 countries, India was ranked 51.
