They are, firstly, illiteracy or lack of education. An illiterate person does not possess sufficient information and knowledge to understand the problems of his State or take interest in public affairs. He is ignorant and apathetic, while his mind is filled with prejudices, narrow sympathies and sentiments. Hence he lacks a sound opinion of his own. Secondly, economic inequality is another great hindrance to the formation of sound public opinion; a poor man has no time or leisure to devote his thoughts to public matters.
