Detailed Solution

1)      In a democracy, people elect the representatives, on their behalf, who participate in the decision-making process and form policies. Democracy promotes the accommodation of diverse views, and all opinions are given due respect. Thus, it is correct to say that everyone has a voice in the shaping of public policies in a democracy.
2)      India has a federal system. There is a vertical distribution of power in India. There is a government for the entire country and a State government for each state that runs the administration of that particular state.
3)      The assertion and reason are both true, but the reason does not justify the assertion.
