#### 1.1 Discuss what is meant by the following:
a) **Modern democracy** (3 marks)
- Modern democracy refers to a political system where citizens have the
power to make decisions about their government through free and fair
elections. It is characterized by the principles of political equality, majority
rule, and the protection of minority rights. It often includes representative
institutions, a legal framework to protect individual freedoms, and
mechanisms for accountability and transparency.
b) **Citizenship education** (3 marks)
- Citizenship education involves teaching individuals, especially young
people, about their rights and responsibilities as members of a society. It
aims to prepare them to participate fully in civic life by understanding
democratic processes, developing critical thinking skills, and fostering a
sense of social responsibility and community engagement.
