Option 1: Samajwadi
Option 2: gana or sangha
Option 3: loktantra
Option 4: Panchayati
Correct Answer: gana or sangha
Solution : The correct option is gana or sangha .
Vaishali, in Bihar, served as the capital of the Vajji governmental system, which was referred to as "gana" or "sangha". The Vajji Mahajanapada has a distinct system of governance, distinguished by a republican framework. It is common to refer to this political entity as the "Vajji ganarajya" or "Vajjian confederacy". Under this ganarajya system, decision-making was frequently done collectively and power was shared among different families or clans. The leaders of the several republican groups that made up the confederacy shared political authority instead of it being centralised in one king. One important clan that was involved in Vajji's governance was the Licchavis.
