Answers
I couldn't explain the topics because brainly was saying that i have used some rude words but i didn't find any rude words.
Explanation:
Like any other form of government democracy has also a few deficiencies and drawbacks. Some philosophers propose greater democracy to correct the ills of the democracy. They suggest that reforms should be introduced in the electoral system. Ultra democratic devices like referendum, initiative and recall should be employed. These popular checks will keep democracy in proper health.
There are some other political philosophers who suggest some other remedies to cure democracy of its ills. They point out that the success of democracy depends upon the active cooperation of the people in the affairs of the government and upon their capacity of fully realizing their responsibility. All this may be possible if the following conditions are fulfilled :
1. Education:
2. Vigilance:
3. Elaborate System of Local Self Government:
A municipality gives the necessary experience in administration and tests the individual members as to whether they would really serve the people or serve themselves.”
4. Civic Sense:
5. Spirit of Toleration:
6. Freedom of Speech, Association and Press:
7. A Written Constitution:
8. Removal of Inequalities of Wealth:
