Read the text carefully and answer the following questions :
The sharing of power is good for a democratic system, one more thing can

be said in its favour and that thing is much deeper. Power sharing is actually
the soul of democracy. Democracy means that power should be distributed
among the people who are under this governance system and these people
should live in this manner. Therefore, a legitimate government is one in which
all groups join the governance system through their participation. Of these two
arguments, we can call one a logical argument and the other a moral argument.
The logic of rationality or prudence emphasizes beneficial outcomes while the
logic of morality emphasizes the inherent importance of the distribution of
power.

(i) What is called the soul of democracy ?
(ii) What is meant by legitimate government ?

(iii) What does logical argument explain ?
