Explain any 5 basic principles of democracy?
Answers
Equality, control on abuse of power, fundamental rights, constitution, fair and periodic elections, economic freedom, multiple political parties, transparency in rule etc. are the main aspects of democracy.
Democracy is a form of government in a sovereign
country. Democracy can apply to people's organizations too. In
democracy the ruling or governance of the state or organization is done by the
people.
In small countries or organizations all people can
participate directly in voting or decision making. This is called the direct
democracy. However many countries are big. So people elect their
representatives. They make decisions related to the nation's political,
economic and security affairs.
In democracy all people or citizen have equal rights for speech,
education, employment, residence, holding properties, access to
justice, their own identity, practicing their own religion etc. In
democracy people have fundamental rights related to all these. They have
rights to vote when they acquire the age.
In democracy the police, judiciary, the head of the state, the
parliament houses (houses of representatives) and the government (cabinet of
ministers) are important.
Elections are supposed to be the most important feature in a
democracy. Periodic elections ensure that people can choose their preferred
representative and dictatorship/monopoly doesn't set in.
In a democracy usually there are two or more political parties which
compete in elections. The one winning in elections forms government after being
invited by the head of the state or country.
Most importantly, in a democracy there is a written constitution which
is considered as the law. It is to be followed by all citizens and the government.
The constitution protects the rights of the people. The government introduces
changes in the constitution as per the procedure.
In a democracy media (social media, newspapers, magazines, TV, Radio) play an important role like the unofficial police. They are a big connection between government and the people.
