Detailed Solution

Democracies reduce the possibility of violent conflicts by offering mechanisms to settle social conflicts. This reduces the likelihood of tensions turning explosive or violent. No society can permanently resolve disputes among different groups fully. But they can certainly make them respect these differences and develop mechanisms to reconcile them. A democratic regime is most likely to produce this outcome. Democracy accommodates numerous social divisions. Non-democratic governments often try to ignore or suppress such social distinctions. The ability to deal with social differences, divisions and conflicts is thus a compelling feature of democratic governments. Democracy is therefore expected to produce a harmonious social life.
