- Elected representative : The people among themselves elect representatives who would govern them.
- Civil liberties : Civil liberties such as freedom of speech, expression, etc are provided to the people.
- Independent judiciary : The judiciary is free from the control of the executive and hence results in a more democratic resolution of disputes.
- Organised opposition party : An organised opposition party is an essential part of the democracy as it keeps a check on the government.
