Question

“Our constitution is called a democracy because power is in the hands of not of a minority but of the whole people. When it is a question of settling private disputes, everyone is equal before the law. Just as our political life is free and open, so is our day-to-day life in our relation with each other. Here each individual is interested not only in his own affairs but in the affairs of the state as well.”
