Question
Read the information carefully to answer the question.
Political turmoil in a country is mainly caused by widespread violence and flawed economic policies of successive governments. If at all this has to be crushed, it can be achieved only by a dictatorial government which rules with iron hand. Therefore, the need of the hour is to elect a government which imposes fresh set of stringent legislations. The alternatives suggested (not necessarily all), if true, considerably weaken the argument. However, one of them is most forceful. Identify the same.
Options
It is not the imposition of new legislations which is required, but effective adherence to the existing legislations.
That government is the best government which governs least.
It is possible to overcome any evil by educating people.
Only dialogue in a free society can eradicate political turmoil.
Solution
That government is the best government which governs least.
Explanation:
The argument bases itself on the premise that political turmoil is caused by violence and government policies. It concludes that a dictatorial government which rules strictly and imposes stringent regulations can crush political turmoil. Only 'That government is the best government which governs least.', if true, would directly weaken the need for a strict government which rules dictatorially.
