Problem 12 - Olympiad

Why is democracy considered better than other forms of government for resolving conflicts?

A. It suppresses all forms of dissent, preventing conflictB. It provides a method to deal with differences and conflicts peacefullyC. It ensures that only one powerful group controls decision-makingD. Conflicts are irrelevant because the government makes all decisions

Correct: B

Democracy provides institutional mechanisms and a framework (like free debate, negotiation, rule of law, and fair elections) to deal with differences and conflicts in a peaceful and respectful manner. It allows diverse groups to voice their opinions and find compromises, rather than resorting to force or coercion, which is common in non-democratic regimes.
