Both A and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).In a democracy, people elect the representatives, on their behalf, who participate in the decision-making process and form policies. The real power lies with the people. 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 shaping public policies in a democracy. Also, India has a federal system. There is a vertical distribution of power in India. This means that there is a government for the entire country and a State government for each state that runs the administration of that particular state. The power to operate on the people is divided between governments at various levels in the power hierarchy. The assertion and reason are both true, whereas the reason is not correct.
