Question

Explain any two principles of Democracy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• No consensus exists on how to define democracy, but legal equality, political freedom and rule of law have been identified as important characteristics.
• These principles are reflected in all eligible citizens being equal before the law and having equal access to legislative processes.

Answer 2

1. Consent of the governed.  Democracy is based on the idea that governments are only legitimate (they only have the right to rule) if they are based on the consent of the people.  People have to agree to be ruled by a government in order for it to be democratic.

2. Representative government.  In a democracy, citizens have to be able to elect people to represent them in the government.  That allows the people to be in overall control of the government.
