In a democratic State, where a high degree of political maturity of the people obtains, the conflict between the will of the sovereign lawmaking body and the organized will of the people seldom occurs. What does the above passage imply?

Correct Option (D)

The passage indicates that in a democratic state with a high degree of political maturity, conflicts between the sovereign lawmaking body and the organized will of the people rarely arise. This implies that governance is predominantly based on a convergence of popular will and legislative action, thereby reducing the reliance on coercive measures. Consequently, the application of force in the actual exercise of sovereignty is minimized, becoming a marginal rather than a central aspect.

Incorrect Options:

• Option (A) and (B): These options propose that force is a main or significant phenomenon in the exercise of sovereignty. This contradicts the passage's assertion that conflicts "seldom occur" in a mature democracy, which suggests a diminished, not primary, role for force.

• Option (C): This option claims that the use of force is entirely irrelevant. The passage states that conflicts "seldom occur," which signifies a minimization of force, not its complete elimination or irrelevance. Even in a politically mature democracy, a latent capacity for force may exist for maintaining order, but its active deployment is rare.
