what is democracy give 5 example
Answers
Answer:
“Democracy” is Greek for “people’s rule.” It refers to a set of political ideas that became popular worldwide during the last century, but that for most of human history have been considered dangerous, short-sighted, and potentially insane.
Because democracy is so popular in our era, the word is used by a wide range of different political systems: like “freedom” or “justice,” it has become a bit of a vague catch-all for whatever political arrangements the speaker admires. During the Cold War, both the American Capitalist system and the Soviet Communist system described themselves as democracies.
Everyone agrees that “Democracy” is a system of government in which the people are in charge, but what exactly does that mean? Who is included in “the people”? What political institutions empower them to control their society? Are there any limitations on their power?
In general, democracy includes some combination of the following features, though different democracies prioritize different goals:
Majoritarianism (i.e. voting)
Protections for ethnic, religious, and other minorities
Open political offices, which can in theory be held by ordinary citizens
Representative institutions, such as a Senate or Parliament
Guaranteed minimum rights, such as free speech, freedom of the press, and a right to education, housing, or minimum income
A democracy is an example most people are familiar with, especially if you live in the U.S. ... A participatory democracy is one where the people use initiative and referendums
Example:- India, USA, Britain, New Zealand etc.
