Demacratic reforms |
| Answer» All the suggestions or proposals about overcoming various challenges to\xa0democracy are called democracy reform or political reform.\tReforming politics by making new laws.\tCarefully devised changes in law can help to discourage wrong political practices and encourage good ones.\tAny legal change must carefully look at what results it will have on politics.\xa0Sometimes the results may be counter productive. For example, many states\xa0have banned people who have more than two children from contesting panchayat\xa0elections. This has resulted in denial of democratic opportunity to many poor\xa0people and women.\tThe best laws are those which empower people to carry out democratic reforms.\tThe Right to Information Act is a good example of a law that empowers the\xa0people to find out what is happening in govt.\tDemocratic reforms are to be brought about principally through political practice.\tAny proposal for political reform should think not only about what is a good\xa0solution but also about who will implement it and how. | |
