alleryWhich of the following is NOT a reason to expect democracy to be better than other forms of government?
AGuarantees rapid economic growth
BEnhances dignity of the individual
CPromotes equality among citizens
DProvides a method to resolve conflicts
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Guarantees rapid economic growth
1. Democracy promotes equality, dignity, better decisions, conflict resolution and self-correction.
2. It does NOT guarantee rapid economic growth — evidence shows dictatorships had slightly higher growth 1950-2000.
3. Hence the growth-guarantee option is the odd one out.
