Detailed Solution

The right to Information Act empowers people in a democracy. In a democratic nation, the citizens are an integral part. This means that the citizens are involved in electing representatives who will govern on their behalf. A citizen’s involvement does not end with voting in the elections; instead, they have to be politically active all the time. For this, the government must make specific mechanisms. For instance, laws like the Right to Information Act of 2005 empower the citizens in a democracy to be vigilant and question the government when needed. This law checks the government, and the government is conscious enough to act transparently. The law has helped to keep corruption under check.
