What should be the basis of policy making in a democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Public interest

Direct answer: B, public interest. A public policy is a plan or decision made by the government to deal with a common issue. In a democracy, government authority is meant to serve citizens, so policy should be based on the needs, rights and welfare of the people. Decision-makers should study evidence, listen to affected groups and consider how the decision will benefit society fairly. A is wrong because one person’s wish cannot represent the needs of all citizens. C is wrong because a rumour is unverified information and is not a reliable basis for government action. D is wrong because fear may force people to obey, but it does not produce democratic or fair policymaking. B is correct because public interest means the welfare and legitimate needs of the people. Memory cue: democratic policy means people’s welfare, not a ruler’s personal preference.
