What is democracy? Democracy is a form of government in which the people freely elect representatives to govern them in a country. Democracy guarantees free and fair elections, basic personal and political rights, and an independent court. There are two types of democracy, direct democracy and indirect democracy. Direct democracy or pure democracy is one where there is direct participation of the people; people make decisions for them instead of letting their representatives make decisions for them. Indirect democracy: decisions are made by the representative on behalf of the people who voted for them. People all over the world have different views on democracy and how it works. “It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others that have been tried. » ~ Winston Churchill Some have said that democracy is the worst form of government, which I think too! Because of the way it works.

The election period where each party embarks on an election campaign to present the candidate they have nominated to represent them in the politburo and make promises to the people on how they can change the world and how they can provide good services better than the party. who is already in charge. Normally they are in the middle of paper......poor or rich you should go through the same ordeal as everyone else because beyond that it is illegal. Democracy is neither bad nor harmful, but we must be careful when talking about democracy, whether it actually means giving power to the people or making those in power more representative of the views of the people. people. Because it all depends on us as individuals how we use our democracy, which depends on whether it is the worst or the best form of government. Through democracy we can either build or destroy our country depending on how we reacted to the situations around us, whether we come together and fight for our democracy that we were told about or whether we sit back and relax in watching other people use our democracy for their own benefit. own goodWorks cited www.jstor.org/stable/40231919 http://lawanddemocracy.org/pdffiles/amazing.prin..pdf http://www.democracyweb.org/accountability/principles.php
