AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Two institutional mechanisms are: (1) Regular free and fair elections — citizens choose/remove rulers; (2) Right to Information — citizens can examine government decisions and ensure transparency.
This is a 1-mark question, so one crisp line is enough. The passage explicitly mentions "regular, free and fair elections," "open public debate," and "citizens' right to information" as key mechanisms. RTI is also illustrated through Nannu's example. Examiners expect you to name the mechanism and give a one-phrase explanation for each — no more.
