    Solution

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Identify the challenge to democracy in the following descriptions.
    Solution
    Democracies are not successful in eliminating economic disparities. In fact, the attempt to eliminate economic inequalities in democracy has been very slow. The democratically elected government focuses on the poor only at the time when elections are near, and after the elections, they do not bother to address the problems of the poor citizens. The problem of poverty is not resolved by any political party. The poor people in many countries are dependent upon the rich classes for their survival.

    1 / -0
    A vital responsibility for any democratic government is _____________.

    Welfare refers to government-sponsored assistance programs for individuals and families in need, including programs as health care assistance, food stamps, and unemployment compensation. Welfare programs are typically funded through taxation. Government welfare is primarily aimed towards people with little to no income, the elderly, and the disabled. Thus, a vital responsibility for any democratic government is welfare.
