Clarify the difference between Democracy and Aristocracy. |
|
Answer» Democracy: Democratic is people’s governance. In this, people, rule themselves directly or indirectly, that is, by electing representatives to form the government. In this, existence of the government is for fulfilling the interests of the people. Government is answerable to the people. The people have the right to change the government of the elected representatives in the next election. Aristocracy: In aristocracy, the political governance happens to be in the hands of such people who do not gave the qualities such as intelligence, knowledge or rationality. The factual criteria is that they are born in high class or are having the power of wealth. Though, Plato has taken the meaning of aristocracy as ‘the administration of the best persons’, but in this system, the people hate administration and administrators. There is a biased behaviour towards general public. In this type of administration, there are always chances of revolution. |
