Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Every country that is a democracy gives rights to its citizens.

Every country that is a democracy gives rights to its citizens. In a democracy, every citizen has the right to vote and the right to be elected. For democratic elections to take place, it is necessary that citizens should have the right to express their opinion, form political parties and take part in other political activities. Besides, in democratic countries, special provisions are made for the protection of rights. Our Constitution also has a list of Fundamental Rights which are protected by the judiciary.
