(v) Ignorance/illiteracy: The efforts of this is that citizens may not see the need to participate in politics due to their lack of knowledge on the government activities
====================================
(2) (i) Autonomous: The electoral body should be made autonomous rather than appendages of the executive arm government
(ii) Non-inference: There should be no political interference in the affairs of the commission
(iii) Appointment: The officials of the commission should not be appointed by the executive government
(iv) Integrity: Those to be appointed into the commission must be people of proven integrity and transparent honesty

(4) (i) A state is a territorial association of people with defined boundaries, while Government is an administrative institution within a state.
(ii) A state is more inclusive and therefore greater than government i.e. it embraces all the people and associations within a given area while Government is not as inclusive as the state.
(iii) A state is a continuing entity. It is therefore permanent. It can hardly be overthrown or changed. while Government is a temporary institution. It only lasts over a period of time. It can be overthrown
(iv) A state depends on government in carrying out its activities. while Government is the machinery by which the functions of a state are performed.
(v) A state has its elements, as population, territory, government and sovereignty. Government has its main organs as the legislature, executive and judiciary.
====================================
(6) (i) Settlement of disputes: The traditional rulers performed some judicial functions by settling dispute among the people in their community
(ii) Creation of law enforcement: They also created law enforcement institutions like e.g age grades and masquerade to enable them maintain law and order in the community.
(iii) The use of ancestral spirits: The ancestral spirits were used by the traditional rulers to control their subjects which they believ guides their footseps.

(8) (i) It increases the level of participation by individuals: People become more involved with their government in a variety of ways when federalism is the structure in place. Elected officials are closer to what a citizen is than a state official under this structure, which means people can visit a local office to express their opinions without a fear of judgment. When we have a chance to embrace diversity as a culture, then it is an opportunity to draw upon each of our strengths to create something amazing. Other forms of government do not offer such an opportunity.
(ii) It provides a structure that diffuses governmental power: Many forms of federalism look to create checks and balances throughout society as a way to create an equal governing process. By diffusing power to multiple branches of office. When power is not centralized in a government, then there are fewer issues with individual corruption that can impact the entire nation.
(iii) It creates a protection against tyranny: This form of government will also make it challenging for a single branch of government to obtain complete control over the structure. There is no way to obtain runaway power in this structure unless voters approve of that process first. Even when there is a significant majority of one party in the government, it can still be difficult to create monumental changes that impact everyone. This process is one of the primary reasons why democratic countries choose this form over the other governing options which are available.
(iv) It encourages a system of cooperation. Different communities have unique requirements that they must meet to maximize their quality of life. Instead of mandating that everyone follows the same set of laws, this system allows each community to create a foundation that works the best for their needs. If you travel to almost any town, city, or village in the United States, then you will discover a different set of laws, rules, and regulations to follow. Many of them are similar, but there are also several which are not.
(v) It allows the government to become more responsive to individual needs: When a government is closer to its citizens, then it can provide a responsive solution when there are citizen needs, emergency situations, or changes that are necessary in the structure of laws. The local governments could distribute resources first instead of relying on the national government like the island because of the availability of local resources.
