Which system introduced by President Ayub Khan:

A. All of these
B. Bilateral
C. Basic Democracies
D. Local Bodies

đź§  Explanation:

The Basic Democracies system, introduced by President Ayub Khan in 1959, aimed to decentralize governance in Pakistan through elected local councils called Basic Democrats. These councils handled community issues and indirectly elected the president, blending grassroots participation with centralized control. Criticized for consolidating power, it shaped Pakistan’s 1960s politics. Studying this system offers insights into post-colonial governance experiments, the interplay of democracy and authority, and the evolution of Pakistan’s political structure, a key topic in political science and South Asian history.
