Democracy is the most successful political idea in the world.
Democracy allows ordinary people a decisive say in who governs a country and how they govern it. It is based on a system of government by all the citizens of a country, typically exercised through elected representatives.

The concept of democracy is broad and diverse. Every country has a unique democratic system, and countries will therefore be ‘differently democratic’.
Democracy has many features: What then are the key features of democracy?

Although there are other aspects to democracy, we look at six key features. When these six main features are present it indicates a strong democracy.

They are:
1) Respect for basic human rights,
2) A multi-party political system paired with political tolerance,
3) A democratic voting system,
4) Respect for the rule of law,
5) Democratic governance, and
6) Citizen participation.

Hiiiii,
1) Democracy is government in which power and civic responsibility are exercised by all adult citi- zens, directly, or through their freely elected rep- resentatives.
2)Democracy rests upon the principles of majority rule and individual rights. 3)Democracies guard against all-powerful central governments and decentralize government to regional and local levels, understanding that all levels of government must be as accessible and responsive to the people as possible.
4)Democracies understand that one of their prime functions is to pro- tect such basic human rights as freedom of speech and religion; the right to equal protection under law; and the opportunity to organ- ize and participate fully in the political, economic, and cultural life of society.
5)Democracies conduct regular free and fair elections open to citizens of voting age.
6)Citizens in a democracy have not only rights, but also the responsibility to participate in the political system that, in turn, protects their rights and free- doms.
7)Democratic societies are committed to the values of tolerance, cooperation, and compromise. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.
