Unit 1: Democracy exam question

This is your first big piece of homework. I expect you to complete for next Thursday 20th September.

(a) What are the main features of representative democracy?

(5)

(b) In what ways has political participation declined in the UK in recent years?

(10)

(c) Evaluate the effectiveness of the various ways in which participation and

democracy could be strengthened in the UK.

(25)

In the exam you would get  40 minutes to answer all three questions. That is 1 mark per minute. Please bare this in mind when handing work in. I do not want 12 pages of stuff, when only 4 are required.

If you require some help, please don't come to me the night before it is due in, rather see me earlier in the week.

Enjoy!
