16. 22) Quelle est la différence entre démocratie directe et démocratie participative?  

Explanation

Both direct democracy and participatory democracy involve citizen participation. However, in direct democracy, all citizens have the opportunity to participate directly in decision-making processes, such as through voting on laws or policies.

Some citizens may choose to actively engage in decision-making processes, while others may only participate to a lesser extent, such as through consultations or feedback. Therefore, option c) states that everyone participates in both types of democracy, but in direct democracy, there is a higher level of participation compared to participatory democracy.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Réduction des citoyens à une participation physique et d’une attitude de consommateur" which means "Reduction of citizens to physical participation and consumer attitude". This option is not an advantage of e-democracy because it suggests that e-democracy reduces citizens to passive consumers rather than active participants in the democratic process. E-democracy actually allows for better exchange of ideas and information, solves the problem of "critical mass", and enables a more efficient democracy through "point and click" interactions.

Explanation

The correct answer is "a) Repose sur des coutumes et traditions du passé." This means that traditional domination is based on customs and traditions from the past.

Submit
27. 5) Parmi les facteurs suivants, lequel n'a pas participé au développement de la démocratie participative ?

Explanation

La séparation des pouvoirs n'a pas participé au développement de la démocratie participative. La séparation des pouvoirs est un principe fondamental de la démocratie représentative, où les pouvoirs législatif, exécutif et judiciaire sont distincts et indépendants les uns des autres. La démocratie participative, en revanche, vise à impliquer directement les citoyens dans le processus décisionnel. Bien que la séparation des pouvoirs soit importante pour garantir l'équilibre des pouvoirs au sein d'un gouvernement, elle ne contribue pas directement au développement de la démocratie participative.

Explanation

The correct answer is b) Le niveau d’éducation est intimement lié aux aspirations démocratiques. This means that there is a strong connection between the level of education individuals have and their desire for a democratic regime. The more educated someone is, the more likely they are to value and support democracy.

Therefore, higher levels of education tend to be associated with a greater appreciation and support for democracy.

Submit
30. 60) Manin distingue des « principes » de la démocratie représentative, lequel est erronéparmi les propositions suivantes ?  

Explanation

The correct answer is b) Les gouvernants doivent respecter scrupuleusement leur programme. This statement contradicts the principles of representative democracy because it implies that once elected, the government officials are bound to strictly follow their pre-established program without any room for flexibility or adaptation to changing circumstances. In a representative democracy, the elected officials are expected to make decisions based on the best interests of the people they represent, which may require them to deviate from their initial program if necessary.
