☆ Democracy ☆

"Democracy is the government of the people, for the people and by the people." - Abraham Lincoln

In simple words, democracy is the form of government, where people rule through their elected representatives.

Chief characteristics of democracy are as follows : -

(1) In a democracy, people rule through representatives who are chosen through elections.

(2) Regular elections are necessary in democracy.

(3) Representatives are elected for a fixed tenure, and after that fresh elections are held.

(4) Democracy upholds the principle of "people's rule".

(5) Decisions are taken on behalf of the country by the representatives elected by the people.

(6) If people are not satisfied with the functioning of the elected representatives, they can elect new representatives in the next elections.

ANSWER-

TOPIC - DEMOCRACY

✍️ We know that Democracy is a type of government which is of the people and for the people.

✍️ Democracy is a form of government in the rulers are elected by the people.

____________________________

✍️ Now, this simple definition can be used by us to separate democracy from other forms of government that are clearly non - democratic.

✍️ The military rulers of Pakistan and Myanmar are not elected by the people.

✍️ The king of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are also not chosen by the people.

✍️ So that means all these are non democratic countries.

✍️ The simple definition of democracy given above is not adequate. This simple definition helps us to conclude that the every government that holds an election is a democracy.

✍️ But this is not true in real sense. There are many countries which holds elections but still they cannot be called democratic.
