Detailed Solution

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
A democratic government might not always be effective, responsive, or clean. A democratic government, however, is one that the people control. The concept of democracy is therefore overwhelmingly favoured around the world. People want to be governed by the leaders they choose. A democratic government results in a government that is responsive to the needs and expectations of the people and accountable to them. Non-democratic leaders are not required to worry about public opinion or majority votes in assemblies. As a result, they can make and implement decisions relatively quickly and effectively. Democracy, on the other hand, is predicated on the notion of discussion and negotiation. Therefore, a delay will undoubtedly occur. Assertion and Reason both are true but it does not justify the assertion.
