. Citizens’ Rights
What Rights Do Citizens Have in A Democracy?
Everyone Has Basic Human Rights that the State Cannot Take Away
In a democracy, every citizen has certain basic rights that the state cannot take away from them. These rights are internationally recognized and guaranteed. Everyone has the right to have their own beliefs, including their religious beliefs, and to say and write what they think. Everyone has the right to seek different sources of information and ideas. Everyone has the right to associate with other people, and to form and join organizations of their own choice, including trade unions. Everyone has the right to assemble and to protest government actions. However, citizens have an obligation to exercise these rights peacefully, with respect for the law and for the rights of others.
2. Federalism
What is the Benefit of a Federal or Decentralized Government?
Federalism Will Benefit All the People of Iraq
by Distributing Power Fairly throughout the Country.
More and more democracies are adopting federalism, or some form of decentralization. According to this principle, each government function should be performed by the lowest level of government that is capable of performing that function effectively. Only the national government can print currency, conduct foreign policy, manage trade and borders, and provide for the nation’s defense. However, local matters, such as community services, are best managed by local or provincial government. Local authorities are better able to know and respond to the immediate needs and interests of their citizens. Decentralization promotes national unity by distributing power and resources more fairly around the country, bringing government closer to the people, and allowing local communities some control over their own affairs. Democracy is more stable when power is devolved along geographic lines and not according to ethnic or sectarian divisions.
3. Separation of Powers and Judicial Independence
Why Does Democracy Require the Separation of Powers?
If Political Power is to be Limited and Responsible,
the Legislature and Judiciary Must Be Independent of the Executive
In a democracy, the exercise of political power must respect the law, the constitution, and the will of the people, through the decisions of their [elected] legislative representatives. This requires that power be separated so that the head of government and his ministers do not have the power to make the law or to interfere in court cases. In a democracy, the executive branch implements policies and programs, administers the national budget, and conducts national affairs. It may also propose laws, but only the parliament may enact legislation, including the budget. Only the courts can decide the guilt or innocence of individuals charged with a crime, and only the higher courts can determine whether a law or a government action or policy is constitutional.
4. Executive Powers
How is Executive Power Structured in a Democracy?
Government may be headed by either a president or a prime minister.
Many democracies now divide executive powers between the two offices.
In presidential democracies, the government is headed by a directly elected president, who is also the ceremonial head of state. In parliamentary democracies, the government is headed by a prime minister and his cabinet, who must enjoy the confidence of parliament, while a president or king acts as the ceremonial head of state. Many newer democracies have chosen an intermediate system. The prime minister and his cabinet are responsible for the day-to-day administration of government through the ministries. But the presidency holds the position of head of state, and has the power to nominate the prime minister, to veto legislation, and to make or approve certain judicial and governmental appointments. By partially dividing executive authority, this intermediate system may help prevent the abuse of power.
