Question

How is democracy in public interest? For 3marks....

Answer 1

democracy is a government of the people for the people by the people

Answer 2

Democracy is a system in which people elect a government of their choice by voting. The party which gets maximum votes is elected as the government for specific period of time. The benefits of democracy are:

(1) democracy helps to prevent rule by cruel and vicious autocrats

(2) modern representative democracies do not fight wars with one another;

(3) countries with democratic governments tend to be more prosperous than countries with nondemocratic governments; and (4) democracy tends to foster human development—as measured by health, education, personal income, and other indicators—more fully than other forms of government do. Other features of democracy also would be considered desirable by most people, though some would regard them as less important than features 1 through 4 above

(5) democracy helps people to protect their fundamental interests; (6) democracy guarantees its citizens fundamental rights that nondemocratic systems do not, and cannot, grant; and

(7) democracy ensures its citizens a broader range of personal freedoms than other forms of government do. Finally, there are some features of democracy that some people—the critics of democracy—would not consider desirable at all, though most people, upon reflection, would regard them as at least worthwhile: (8) only democracy provides people with a maximum opportunity to live under laws of their own choosing; (9) only democracy provides people with a maximum opportunity to take moral responsibility for their choices and decisions about government policies; and

(10) only in a democracy can there be a relatively high level of political equality.

It is clear from above that democracy is completely is public interest
