Answer Details
The origin of democracy is associated with the Greeks. Ancient Greek city-states, such as Athens, developed a system of government that allowed citizens to participate in decision-making through voting in public assemblies. This system was called "demokratia" which means "rule by the people" in Greek. Athenian democracy is considered one of the earliest forms of democracy in the world, where citizens had the right to vote and participate in the government, regardless of their social status or wealth. The principles of Greek democracy influenced later democracies around the world, making it an important development in human history.

Answer Details
The power of a state government to make policies, issue orders, and spend public funds is an attribute of its political authority. Political authority refers to the ability of a government to make decisions and enforce laws that affect the people within its jurisdiction. This authority is derived from the consent of the governed and is exercised through various branches of government, such as the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The state government's administrative authority, judiciary authority, and other forms of authority are all ultimately derived from its political authority, which is the foundation of its power to govern.

Question 8 Report
Parliamentary government is different from presidential government because
Answer Details
Parliamentary government is different from presidential government mainly because of the way the executive branch is structured. In a parliamentary government, the executive branch is headed by a Prime Minister, who is chosen from the members of the legislative branch (parliament). This means that the Head of Government and the legislature are connected and work together closely. In contrast, in a presidential government, the executive branch is headed by a President, who is elected separately from the legislature. This means that the President and the legislature are separate branches of government and can sometimes have competing interests. Another key difference is the role of the Head of State. In a parliamentary government, there is usually a ceremonial Head of State (such as a monarch or a president with limited powers), who represents the country in official functions but has limited political power. In a presidential government, the President serves as both the Head of State and the Head of Government, with significant political power. Overall, the main differences between parliamentary and presidential government relate to the structure of the executive branch and the role of the Head of State.

Question 10 Report
The mechanism used to limit a parliamentary debate is known as
Answer Details
The mechanism used to limit a parliamentary debate is known as "guillotine." It is a procedure that sets a time limit for the debate on a particular issue or bill in a parliamentary session. Once the time limit is reached, the debate is cut short, and a vote is taken on the issue. This is done to ensure that the parliamentary session runs smoothly and that other important issues can be addressed. The guillotine mechanism is often used in parliamentary systems to ensure that the legislative process does not become bogged down by lengthy debates on a single issue.
Question 11 Report

Answer Details
The lack of interest in politics by many citizens in a country is referred to as "mass apathy". This means that people are indifferent or unconcerned about participating in the political process or making their voices heard on important issues that affect their lives. It can be caused by various factors such as disillusionment with the political system, lack of trust in politicians, or a feeling of powerlessness to effect change. Mass apathy can have significant consequences on democracy, as it can lead to a lack of accountability and a disengagement from the democratic process.
Question 12 Report
Which of the following actions is not a from of political participation?
Answer Details
The action that is not a form of political participation is "bribing an electoral officer." Political participation refers to any activity by citizens that influence or support the governance of their country. Voting in an election, contesting an election, and joining a political party are all forms of political participation as they allow citizens to engage in the democratic process and have a say in the decisions made by their government. Paying income tax is also a form of political participation as it is a civic duty that contributes to the government's ability to provide public services. However, bribing an electoral officer is illegal and undermines the democratic process by manipulating the outcome of an election. It is a corrupt activity that goes against the principles of fair and free elections, and therefore, it is not a form of political participation.

It emphasizes the importance of shared values, beliefs, and traditions, and seeks to build solidarity among community members.

The transfer of political power to local authorities by the central government is known as
Answer Details
The transfer of political power from a central government to local authorities is known as "devolution of power" or simply "devolution." This means that certain decision-making powers and responsibilities, such as those related to public services and economic development, are shifted from the national government to regional or local governments. Decentralization is another term used to describe this process. Essentially, it allows local communities to have more control over their own affairs and to tailor policies and programs to their unique needs and circumstances.

Question 21 Report
A quesi-federal constitution will produce
Answer Details
A quasi-federal constitution typically produces a strong central government with some degree of devolution of power to the subnational units. This means that while the central government retains significant power, the subnational units also have some level of autonomy and decision-making power within their jurisdictions. Overall, a quasi-federal system tends to strike a balance between a strong central government and strong component governments. This can lead to greater stability and unity in the country, as well as a better ability to address issues that affect both the central government and the subnational units. At the same time, it also allows for some level of diversity and local decision-making, which can lead to better governance and improved outcomes for citizens. However, the specific nature and degree of power-sharing in a quasi-federal system can vary depending on the specific provisions of the constitution and the political dynamics within the country. As such, it is important to examine the specific details of each case to fully understand the implications of a quasi-federal constitution.

Answer Details
Centralization of power is a basic feature of a unitary government. In a unitary government, the central government holds most of the power, and it delegates some powers to the local governments or sub-national units. The central government can take back these delegated powers if it sees fit. This means that decisions are made by the central government and are binding on all sub-national units. On the other hand, in a federal government, power is shared between the central government and the sub-national units, and both levels of government have their own areas of responsibility. In a confederal government, the sub-national units hold most of the power, and the central government only has limited power over them. In a presidential government, the president is the head of the executive branch of government, while in a parliamentary government, the executive branch is led by the parliament or a prime minister chosen by the parliament. However, neither of these forms of government inherently require centralization of power.

They are responsible for collecting and counting the votes, and ultimately announcing the results of the election. The Returning Officer is typically appointed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) or the relevant electoral body, and their role is crucial in ensuring the integrity and credibility of the election process.
Question 32 Report

Answer Details
In a one-party state, only one political party is officially recognized by the government, and there is no legal opposition. This means that the ruling party has a monopoly on political power and can make decisions without any opposition or challenge from other parties. Elections may still be held, but only the one recognized party is allowed to participate and win. The government may also have the power to disband any other political parties that may arise.
Question 33 Report
Political participation in Nigeria is limited by all the following except
Answer Details
Political participation in Nigeria can be limited by various factors. However, one of the options listed does not limit political participation in Nigeria, and that is religion. Decrees, which are laws passed by the government without going through the normal legislative process, can limit political participation by restricting freedoms such as freedom of speech and association. Voter's register can limit political participation by disenfranchising eligible voters who are not registered to vote. Residence can also limit political participation by making it difficult for people to participate in elections in areas where they are not registered to vote. Age can limit political participation by excluding young people who have not attained the age of majority from participating in elections. However, religion does not limit political participation in Nigeria. Nigerians of different religions are free to participate in politics and vote for candidates of their choice. While religion may influence people's political views and choices, it is not a barrier to political participation in Nigeria.
Question 34 Report
The Public Complaints Commission helps to promote all the following except
Answer Details
The Public Complaints Commission (PCC) is a government agency that helps to protect the rights of citizens by investigating complaints against public officials or institutions. Its primary function is to promote democracy, the rule of law, justice, and fundamental human rights by providing an avenue for citizens to seek redress for grievances they may have with the government. However, the PCC does not promote military dictatorship. In fact, the opposite is true: the PCC helps to promote democratic principles and the rule of law, which are antithetical to military dictatorship. Military dictatorship is a form of government in which the military has absolute power and control over the government and the citizens. It often involves the suppression of democratic institutions, the violation of human rights, and the absence of the rule of law. Therefore, the PCC does not promote military dictatorship, but rather works to promote democratic principles and the rule of law, which are essential for protecting the rights of citizens and ensuring that public officials are held accountable for their actions.

Answer Details
During the early colonial period in Nigeria, the governor ruled the protectorate through Proclamations. A proclamation is an official announcement made by a government or ruler, which carries the force of law. The governor had the authority to issue proclamations, which were used to create laws and regulations that governed various aspects of life in the colony, such as trade, land ownership, and taxation. These proclamations were enforced by the governor and his appointed officials, and failure to comply could result in punishment, including imprisonment or fines. Therefore, the governor's power to rule was primarily based on his ability to issue and enforce proclamations.

Answer Details
A rigid constitution is identified by its difficult amendment procedure, which means that it cannot be easily changed. This is usually done to ensure that certain fundamental principles and values of the country are not easily altered or undermined by temporary political or social forces. The length, nature and scope of the constitution, as well as its salient provisions and sources, do not necessarily determine whether a constitution is rigid or flexible.

Du Bois believed that people of African descent around the world shared a common history, culture, and struggle against racism and oppression. He saw the pan-African movement as a way to unite people of African descent in a common cause and to promote their social, economic, and political advancement. In 1900, Du Bois attended the first Pan-African Conference in London, which brought together African and African American leaders to discuss ways to promote the interests of people of African descent around the world. He went on to become one of the most prominent leaders of the pan-African movement, organizing subsequent conferences and advocating for the decolonization of Africa and the rights of people of African descent globally. Overall, Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois is widely recognized as a key figure in the pan-African movement, who worked tirelessly to promote unity and advancement among people of African descent around the world.

Answer Details
When a pressure group is made up of people who share the same profession, it is called an "occupational group". This means that the group is made up of individuals who work in the same field or industry and who have a shared interest in promoting their professional goals and protecting their interests. For example, an occupational group for doctors might work to improve healthcare policies or to advocate for better working conditions for medical professionals. Similarly, an occupational group for teachers might lobby for increased education funding or for changes to standardized testing policies. Overall, occupational groups are one type of interest group, which is a broader term used to describe any organization or association that works to influence government policies and decisions.

Public opinion is not the opinion of elites or the ruling party, nor is it limited to the political views of important groups or members of the opposition party. Rather, it encompasses the diverse opinions of ordinary citizens who share common interests and concerns about the direction of their society and government. Public opinion can be shaped by various factors such as media, education, personal experiences, and social interactions.
Question 48 Report
Which of the following is not a problem of civil service?
Answer Details
The problem that is not related to civil service is "Advising political leaders." Civil service refers to the body of government employees who are responsible for implementing public policies and delivering public services. While civil servants may provide advice and recommendations to their political leaders, it is not considered a problem. In fact, providing sound advice and expertise to policymakers is one of the key functions of the civil service. Now, let's briefly explain the other problems mentioned in the options: - Red-tapism: This refers to excessive bureaucracy, where officials are more focused on following rules and regulations than getting things done efficiently. - Over-devotion to precedence: This refers to a situation where officials are more concerned about following established procedures than responding to the needs of the public or making decisions based on merit. - Improper keeping of records: This refers to poor record-keeping practices, which can lead to inefficiencies, corruption, and a lack of accountability. - Poor attitude to government work: This refers to a situation where civil servants lack motivation or commitment to their work, which can result in poor performance and a lack of public trust in government institutions.

Answer Details
When a country has experienced a continuous period of military rule or intervention, it is said to have fallen into what is called a "praetorian trap." This is because the military has become a dominant force in the country's political system, and it is difficult for civilian authorities to regain control. The term "praetorian" comes from the Praetorian Guard, an elite military unit that played a role in the Roman Empire's political power struggles. So, in essence, a country that has fallen into a praetorian trap is one where the military has become a powerful political force that undermines civilian rule and democratic processes.
Question 55 Report
Which of the following best describe the system of government in Nigeria between 1922 and 1953?
Answer Details
Between 1922 and 1953, Nigeria had a colonial system of government. The system of government was mainly Unitary. This means that power was centralized in the hands of the British colonial authorities who ruled Nigeria from the capital city, Lagos. The colonial government controlled all aspects of governance, including legislation, executive decisions, and the judiciary. The traditional rulers and local authorities were subject to the control and influence of the colonial authorities. Therefore, the colonial government had complete control over Nigeria during this period, and the country was not self-governed. Nigeria did not become a federal republic until 1963 when it gained independence from Britain.
