Read the given extract and answer the following questions.

The idea of power-sharing has emerged in opposition to the notions of undivided political power. For
a long time it was believed that all power of government must reside in one person or group of
persons located at one place. It was felt that if the power to decide is dispersed, it would not be
possible to take quick decisions and to enforce them. But these notions have changed with the
emergence of democracy. One basic principle of democracy is that people are source of all political
power. In a democracy, people rule themselves through institutions of self-government. In a good
democratic government, due respect is given to diverse groups and views that exist in a society.
Everyone has a voice in the shaping of public policies. 'therefore, it follows that in a democracy
political forms of power-sharing should be distributed amongst as many citizens as possible.

i. The basic principle of democracy is ___

ii. What is a prudent reason for power-sharing?

iii. What describes a good democratic system?
