Question

All the ills of democracy can be cured by ___________.

• A. Political parties
• B. Strong-willed leaders
• C. More democracy
• D. Restricted democracy

Answer 1

The correct option is C More democracy

• New York Governor Al Smith said in 1923 that if there are any ills that democracy is suffering from today, they can only be cured by more democracy. The quote was part of a policy that gave more home-rule to New York City and less power to the state government at Albany.
  
• The political quotation has been much-repeated over the years. Some have disputed the quotation, stating that if democracy is corrupt, then more democracy won’t be an improvement.
