Do basic solution also have H+ ions? If yes, then why are they basic

Solution

When a base is dissolved in water then it will produce H⁺ ions as wells as OH⁻ ions. if H⁺ ion concentration is more than OH⁻ ion then the solution is acidic. And they show basic character if OH⁻ ion concentration is more than H⁺ ion concentration.That means they are basic due to presence of more OH- ions.
