Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
If we wish to measure democracies based on the expected outcome of accountability, we can look for practices and institutions such as regular, free and fair elections; open public debate on crucial policies and laws, and citizens' right to information about the functioning of government. But if we evaluate democratic regimes in real life, the actual execution shows a mixed record. For example, most democracies fail to provide a fair chance to everyone in elections and subject every decision to civic discussions. Democratic governments may not always share information with citizens, even when they have access to vast knowledge about the citizens through their voter IDs or Aadhar cards.
