Answer 1

The correct option is A Foundational challenge

Different countries face different kinds of challenges. At least one-fourth of the globe is still not under a democratic government. The challenge for democracy in these parts of the world is very stark. These countries face the foundational challenge of making the transition to democracy and then instituting a democratic government. This involves bringing down the existing non-democratic regime, keeping the military away from controlling the government and establishing a sovereign and functional state.
