Briefly explain how the balance between limited and effective governance is affected by the frequency of elections
What will be an ideal response?
The length of a politician's term in office must strike a balance between limited and effective government. On the one hand, a lengthy term is an invitation for abuse of power and for a politician to ignore the public. On the other hand, we want politicians to have enough time to formulate and implement policies that are useful. It is difficult to know where to strike this balance; common sense suggests that holding elections every few years qualifies a country as democratic.
