Power sharing disperses authority across institutions and groups, making governance inclusive and reducing tensions. Arrangements such as federalism, decentralisation and proportional representation prevent any single community from monopolising decisions.
Therefore the reason correctly explains why power sharing lowers the possibility of conflict.

Correct option: (A)

1 Answer

  1. Power sharing is desirable because it distributes decision-making so diverse groups feel represented, lowering grievances and conflict. Constitutional arrangements—like federal divisions, local self-government, autonomous regions and reserved representation—act as checks that stop one community from ruling alone. Real-world examples (e.g., Belgium’s federal reforms, India’s decentralisation) show these mechanisms promote stability; hence R is the correct explanation of A.
