Which of the pair is correctly matched _________.a)Republic - Head of ...
Secular - State is without any religion of its own
Secularism refers to the principle of separating the state from religious institutions. In a secular state, the government does not promote or favor any specific religion, and individuals are free to practice any religion of their choice without interference from the state.
- Correctly matched: The pair of Secular and "State is without any religion of its own" is correctly matched. A secular state does not have an established or official religion, and it treats all religions equally under the law. This ensures religious freedom for all citizens, regardless of their faith.
- Incorrect options:
- Republic - Head of the State us hereditary Monarch: In a republic, the head of state is usually elected by the people or their representatives, while in a hereditary monarchy, the position is passed down through a royal family.
- Democratic - Constitution does not recognise legal supremacy of another country: Democracy refers to a form of government where power is vested in the people, either directly or through elected representatives. The legal supremacy of another country is not a defining characteristic of democracy.
- Sovereign - Constitution rests on People's will: While sovereignty implies the supreme power or authority of a state, the constitution of a country may not necessarily rest solely on the will of the people. The constitution may incorporate principles of popular sovereignty, but it also includes other elements such as the rule of law and division of powers.
In conclusion, the correct match is Secular - "State is without any religion of its own," as it accurately reflects the principle of secularism in governance.
