    Answer:

                      Two reasons can be given in favour of power sharing. (i) In a democracy, people are the source of all political power. In a good democracy due respect given to diverse groups and views that exist in a society. So, political power should be distributed among as many citizens as possible. Power sharing is good because it helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups. Social conflict leads to violence and political instability. Tyranny of the majority is bad for both minority and majority as well. (ii) A Legitimate Government is one where citizens participate in the system. People have a right to be consulted on how they are to be ruled. In a democracy, people enjoy this benefit. A democratic rule involves sharing power among its citizens. Power sharing is the very spirit of democracy. It implies maximum popular participation through decentralization of powers, so that people would be consulted on how they are to be governed.
