Read the following passage carefully and write suitable summary in about 60 (Sixty)words.

Democratic Societies from the earliest times have expected their government to protect the weak against the strong. No era of good feeling can justify discharging police force or giving up the ideal of public control over concentrated private wealth. On the other hand it is obvious that a spirit of self- denial and moderation on the part of those who tell economic power will greatly soften and demand for absolute equality. Men are interested in freedom and security than in an equal distribution of wealth. The extent to which government must interfere with business, therefore, is not exactly measured by the extent to which economic power is concentrated into a few hands. The required degree of government interference depends mainly on whether economic power are used and on the neccessity of keeping economic factors in a toterable state of balance.

Title - IMPORTANCE OF DEMO-CRATIC GOVERNMNT Democratic government are generally expected to save the weak people from the strong ones. People these days becoming interested in ensuing themselves with freedom and security. For this equal distribution of wealth bears no meaning. Accumulation of wealth on a few influential people cannot assure everyone with a better life economically. Government should come forward to provide all the people with economic powers.
