\;\;\;\;\;\bo\Passage 4

As a political system, democracy does not necessarily promote political freedom. There are historical examples of democracies that ultimately resulted in some of the most oppressive societies. Likewise, there have been enlightened despotisms and oligarchies that have provided a remarkable level of political freedom to their subjects.

Q. The decision making in the passage’s argument is flawed because it

confuses the conditions necessary for political freedom with the conditions sufficient to bring it about.
fail to consider that a substantial increase in the level of political freedom might cause a society to become more democratic,
appeals to historical examples that are irrelevant to the causal claim being made
overlooks the possibility that democracy promotes political freedom without being necessary or sufficient by itself to produce it.
