One of the three stages in the growth of modern democracy is ______.

• A. the rule of law.
• B. idea of accountability.
• C. social and economic equality.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A the rule of law.

A democratic government cannot do whatever it likes, simply because it has won an election. It has to respect some basic rules. In particular, it has to respect some guarantees to the minorities. Every major decision has to go through a series of consultations. A democratic government rules within limits set by constitutional law and citizens’ rights.
