What's Democracy?

Any political system that describes itself as a “democracy” requires at least three things;

1. That important decisions are made in the open;
2. The public and its representatives have an opportunity to debate them, so the decisions can be revised in light of what the public discovers and wants;
3. Those who make the big decisions are accountable to voters.

(Bill Clinton, former President of United States)

***********************************

Democracy

Most fundamental principles = the people are sovereign and the people select their government.

Democratic characteristics;

(1) Political power begins with the people and the legitimacy of a regime derives from the people.

(2) Political power is exercised through choices that the people make.

(3) The holders of major official posts in government at all levels are determined through periodic competitive elections.

(2) While honoring the will of the majority, the fundamental dignity, freedom, and human rights of minorities are protected.
