Question

Power sharing is desirable because ___________.

• A. It creates many centres of power
• B. It increases conflict among different groups
• C. It avoids social conflict and violence
• D. It creates instability

Answer 1

The correct option is C It avoids social conflict and violence

Power sharing helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups. Power sharing is a good way to ensure the stability of political order as social conflict often leads to violence and political instability. Imposing the will of the majority community over others may look like an attractive option in the short run, but in the long run it undermines the unity of the nation. Tyranny of the majority is not only oppressive for the minority but it also brings ruin to the majority.
