CBSE Class 10 Answered

The foundational challenge of democracy involves making the transition to democracy and then establishing democratic government. It involves establishing a sovereign and functional state. The challenge also involves bringing down the existing non-democratic regime, keeping military away from the centre of power and establishing civilian control over all institutions by holding democratic elections.

In a country like Myanmar, a political leader like Suu Kyi was kept under house arrest for more than 20 years. Thus, in this case, the foundational challenge recognises the need to release political prisoners of the State or recall them if exiled and hold multiparty elections.
