AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.

The examiner wants you to connect transparency and freedom of expression in democracy to public complaints. Key point: non-democratic governments suppress dissent, so people cannot complain even if conditions are worse. In democracy, the right to criticise is itself a sign the system is working. Avoid writing more than one line for a 1-mark question.
