Detailed Solution

The correct answer is option 4. Both tyranny of the majority and oppression of the minority and negation of the very spirit of democracy results from the non-sharing of power. Non-sharing of power means that the central government or a particular group in society concentrates all the powers in its hand. This results in the tyranny of the majority and oppression of the minority, as was seen in Sri Lanka, where the Sinhala-dominated government introduced majoritarian policies to appease the Sinhala majority and ignored the native Tamil minority. It is a negation of the very spirit of democracy as it disallows certain groups in society from partaking in decision-making when they are the ones who have to live with the effects of the exercise of power.
