4. Elections and Institutions need to
be combined with a third elementenjoyment of rights - to make a
government democratic.

6. Rights are claims of a person over other follow
beings, over the society and over the government.
So a right is possible when you make a claim that
is equally possible for others.
Right acquire meaning only in society. Every
society makes certain rules to regulate our
conduct, they tell us what is right and what is
wrong. What is recognized by the society as
rightful become the bases of rights.
7. Democratic Companies Work Fast
It may seem paradoxical to say that
democratic companies know how to work
fast but it’s true. Sure, the decision-making
process, if it involves reaching a
consensus, can take time. But the time and
attention paid to everyone’s point of view
only makes the execution phase faster once
the decision is made.
Democratic Companies Come Up With Smarter Ideas
Every business owner knows the maxim, “Innovate or die.” But coming
up with ideas and acting on them isn’t enough. You need smart ideas.
How to get them? As James Surowiecki writes, tap the wisdom of your
crowd.
Democratic Companies Have Happier Employees
The Gallup Organization recently reported that approximately threefourths of the US workforce is disengaged at work, costing $300 billion
annually. Employees report that not being engaged also impacts their
emotional and physical health.
8. a)
The democratic leadership requires some favorable
conditions in that the labor must be literate, informed
and organized. This is not always possible.
b) This approach assumes that all workers are genuinely
interested in organization and that their individuals are
goals successfully fused with the organizational goals. This
assumption may not always be valid.
c) There must be a total trust on the part of management as
well as employees. Some employees may consider this
approach simply an attempt to manipulate them.
Accordingly the employees must be fully receptive to this
approach to make it meaningful.
10. Right

11. The constitution says that the government shall
not deny to any person in India equality before the
law or the equal protection of the same manner to
all, regardless of a person’s status. This is called
the rule of law.
12. Freedom means absence of constraints. In practical life it
means absence of interference in our affairs by other – be
it other individuals or the government. We want to live in
society, but we want to live in society, but we want to be
free.
Freedom
of speech and expression
Assembly in a peaceful manner
Form associations and unions
Move freely throughout the country
Reside in any part of the country, and
Practice any profession, or to carry on any occupation ,trade or
business.
13. The constitution mentions three specific evils
and declares these illegal. First, the constitution
prohibits ‘traffic in human beings’. Traffic here
means selling and buying of human
beings, usually women, for immoral purpose.

15. You might wonder why were the constitution
makers were so particular in providing written
guarantees of the rights of the minorities. Why are
there no special guarantees for the majority?
Well, for the simple reason that the working of
democracy gives power to the majority.
