Only I and II are strong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Argument I is strong because it is based on the economic cost of holding elections more frequently. Argument II is strong because it is based on the democratic principle of accountability. Argument III is weak because it is based on the assumption that elected representatives need a long time to settle and concentrate on developmental activities. This assumption is not necessarily true, and there is no evidence to suggest that elected representatives who are elected for a shorter term are less likely to be effective.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some additional details about each argument:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Argument I is strong because it is based on the economic cost of holding elections more frequently.

One of the key principles of democracy is that elected officials should be accountable to the people who elected them. If elections are held every three years, voters will have a more frequent opportunity to hold their elected officials accountable. This could lead to better government performance.<\/li>\n<li>Argument III is weak because it is based on the assumption that elected representatives need a long time to settle and concentrate on developmental activities. This assumption is not necessarily true, and there is no evidence to suggest that elected representatives who are elected for a shorter term are less likely to be effective. In fact, some studies have shown that elected representatives who are elected for a shorter term may be more focused on their constituents and on delivering results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on YouTube<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[719],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Directions : Following question consists of a statement followed by three arguments I, II and III .
