What Are The Different Types Of Democracy? Vaishnavi Patil 3 Years Ago
Anyone reading this is probably quite familiar with the word democracy. Thanks to years of schooling under our collective belts, we know that democracy is a form of government that has played a major role in modern history. Democracy dragged us away from archaic systems, such as authoritarian monarchies, into more liberal and rational forms of governance.
What is democracy?
A democracy is simply a system of government where the citizens directly exercise their power, and have the right to elect government representatives who collectively create a government body for the entire nation (like, a parliament). Another way to say the same thing is that it’s a type of government that’s ruled by citizens, or in other words, people who are members of a society. In a democratic government, people have certain basic rights that the government can’t take away from them, and these rights are internationally recognized and guaranteed.
