Democracy is a form of government where all eligible citizens must participate equally. The supreme power is invested in the people and exercised directly by them. It allows everyone to participate equally directly or through elected representatives. In a democracy voting is extremely important. A democratic government is different than other forms of government where power is held by one individual or in other forms where power is held by a small group. There are many types of democratic forms of government but the two most basic are direct democracy and representative. The most important principles under a democracy is legal equality, freedom and rule of law.
ReplyDeleteEquality of all persons.
ReplyDeleteDemocracy require the equality of all persons rights in many ways. All citizens are equal before the law and they have equal access to power in a democracy. There is no king or someone that has a higher standing. Peoples rights must be equal in democracy because they elected their government. All men are created equal and all men have the same opportunities in life.

Democracy and Internet
ReplyDeleteFirstly democracy demands that the people be widely informed about their government.The internet is great information center to for people to learn about their government. You can learn about supreme court decisions, see candidate bios and what congress is up too. However as we all know not everything on the internet can be a trusted source so be careful where you draw your information from. Take responsibility and check the reliability.
