About Outcomes of Democracy

This quiz covers Chapter 7 of CBSE Class 10 Political Science (Democratic Politics II), Outcomes of Democracy.

It opens with how we should fairly assess democracy's outcomes, and why accountable, responsive, and legitimate government is one of its central strengths.

It then covers economic growth and development, and why there is no clear link between a country's form of government and its economic performance.

It moves on to the reduction of inequality and poverty, including the real gap between democratic promise and economic outcomes in a country like India.

It covers how democracies accommodate social diversity, and how they promote the dignity and freedom of individual citizens.

It closes with the overall expectations we can reasonably have from democracy, and why democratic struggles never really end.

Every question comes with a clear, simple explanation, so incorrect answers become as instructive as correct ones, whether you are revising for a school test or a board exam.
