Detailed Explanation by Teachoo

 

Democracy is not just a form of government , but also a form of society and economy . This means that democracy is not only about how the people elect their representatives and how the government functions, but also about how the people live together and how the resources are distributed.

The values of democracy such as justice , freedom and human dignity should be embedded in the social and economic life of the people. This means that the people should enjoy various civil liberties, such as freedom of speech, expression, religion, etc. and the government should respect and protect these rights. It also means that the people should be equal in status, rights and opportunities and the government should ensure justice and fairness for all. It also means that the people should have a say in the decisions that affect their lives and livelihoods and the government should be responsive and accountable to them.

Therefore

  • Assertion(A): Democracy is not just a form of government, but also a form of society and economy. This is true.

  • Reasoning (R): The values of democracy such as justice, freedom and human dignity should be embedded in the social and economic life of the people. This is true.

  • The reasoning is a correct explanation of the assertion , as it shows why democracy is not only a political system, but also a social and economic system.

Thus,

  • Assertion is true.
  • Reasoning is true
  • And the reasoning is a correct explanation of the assertion.

So, the correct answer is option (A) : Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
