Democratic societies from the earliest times have expected their governments to protect the weak against the strong. No 'era of good feeling' can justify discharging the police force or giving up the idea of public control over concentrated private wealth. On the other hand, it is obvious that a spirit of self-denial and moderation on the part of those who hold economic power will greatly soften the demand for absolute equality. Men are more interested in freedom and security than in an equal distribution of wealth. The extent to which government must interfere with business, therefore, is not exactly measured by the extent to which economic power is concentrated into a few hands. The required degree of government interference depends mainly on whether economic powers are oppressively used, and on the necessity of keeping economic factors in a tolerable state of balance.
But with the necessity of meeting all these dangers and threats to liberty, the powers of government are unavoidably increased, whichever political party may be in office. The growth of government is a necessary result of the growth of technology and of the problems that go with the use of machines and science. Since the government in our nation, must take on more powers to meet its problems, there is no way to preserve freedom except by making democracy more powerful.

Arrange P, Q, R, S to give the correct sequence of the movie review given below. P: As a character Copernicus is so idealistic, he's ready to literally have his face rubbed in the dirt as long as he can fulfil his duty. His rigid demeanour is not tainted by the corruption and cynicism that we, as Indians, have come to embrace. Jugal Kishor embodies this role with a blinking innocence in his eyes, hiding the intelligence of an actor who has a deep understanding of the persona he's playing. Q: But their performances would ring hollow with the lack of a meaningful screenplay. Writer- director Om Prakash and Arvind Maurya have painfully captured the bittersweet essence of the people of an obscure jungle that's far-flung from civilization. This is also evident in the cinematography; each shot is thoughtfully structured and lovingly composed. Combined with a subtle sound design that's hard to miss - this film has everything going for it. 'Copernicus' has dared to take on an issue that our vast majority turns a blind eye to, and slaps us out of our blissful ignorance. Amidst laughing, it'll leave you thinking, which - and we need to be reminded of this - is what good cinema should do. Both your funny bone and your grey cells will thank you for watching it. R: In fact, Copernicus's personality traits are so well defined by Jugal, that it would be really interesting to see this character react to a variety of other complex and uncomfortable situations. Along with him, Pankaj Gehlot, Kanika Parti and Nakul Bhatnagar put on a masterclass in acting - each one of them shines when they occupy the screen. Gehlot as Paramjeet Singh, in particular, is the perfect opposite of Copernicus's naivete, in his weary skepticism. Together, they make an odd couple of sorts, but also perfectly showcase the two ends of the spectrum in our thought process, when we contemplate the state of our 'democratic' country. S: In terms of entertainment value, 'Copernicus' takes on a completely unremarkable subject. After all, why would anyone want to watch a film on election woes in a remote jungle surrounded by terrorists? Surely not the average moviegoer, who is primarily accustomed to the glitz and glamour of Bollywood. But in the recent past, some films have tried to blur the line between sheer 'paisa vasool' quotient and essential social commentary. 'Copernicus' jumps over that divide and runs off with a brilliantly acted, impeccably written, lovingly shot, humorous, yet poignant film that Indian audiences didn?t ask for, but need.
