What is Government? Chapter 3 Class 6th Political Science - Democratic Politics - 1

Q 1.   What do you understand by the word ‘government’? List five ways in which you think the government affects your daily life.

Answer.  A Government is a prominent body which administers and implements decisions in an organized manner for the benefit of its nation’s citizens.

Government affects our daily life in the following ways:

a. The government protects the boundaries of the country and maintaining peaceful relations with other countries.

b. It helps in running the various services, likely postal and railways services.

c. The government organizes aid and assistance for the people affected by natural disasters like Flood, Drought, Earthquake and tsunami.

d. It ensures the welfare of its citizens and provides good health facilities.

e. The government takes actions on social issues and helps the poor.

Q 2.   Why do you think the government needs to make rules for everyone in the form of laws?

Answer.  Government makes laws and everyone who lives in the country has to follow these. This is the only way governments can function.

Q 3.   Name two essential features of a democratic government.

Answer. 

(i)                  The main feature of a democracy is that the people have the power to elect their leaders.

(ii)                Another feature of a democracy is that Government is accountable to its people.

Q 4.   What was the suffrage movement? What did it accomplish?

Answer.  Women’s struggle to vote in Europe and USA during the First World War is called the women’s suffrage (right to vote) movement.

The suffragettes demanded the right to vote for all women. Many suffragettes were imprisoned and went on hunger strikes; they had to be fed by force.

American women got right to vote in 1920 while women in the UK got to vote on the same terms as men some years later, in 1928.

Q 5.   Gandhiji strongly believed that every adult in India should be given the right to vote. However, a few people don’t share his views. They feel that illiterate people, who are mainly poor, should not be given the right to vote. What do you think? Do you think this would be a form of discrimination? Give five points to support your view and share these with the class.

Answer. 

(i)      Yes, it would be a form of discrimination on the basis of education. If these are not allowed to participate in the Government then they might feel neglected and also their concerns may not get resolved.

(ii)    People from all sections of the society took an active part in the freedom struggle and hence, everybody should be treated equally before the law.

(iii)   Illiteracy and poverty are not a choice, but a social evil and this can only be eradicated by allowing these people to come forward and represent themselves.

(iv)  Universal Adult Franchise advocates for granting voting rights to all the citizens irrespective of their social status.

(v)    In a democracy, people are the king and if some people are not allowed to represent themselves then it will defeat the purpose of a democracy altogether.
