Hi friend..
Here is your answer
➡️✴️✴️ANSWER✴️✴️⬅️
Democracy is about sharing power between people. This way everyone can influence decisions. They don't have to be the right decision but it limits the power of certain groups.
If we don't have democracy or when democracy is weakened, then power will accumulate in the hands of the few who will make decisions that benefit themselves
The five main characteristics of democracy are as under:
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
(i) ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE :
In democracy representatives elected by the people make laws and frame policies of the government.
(ii) ELECTIONS ARE HELD TO ELECT THE REPRESENTATIVES :
All adult citizens have the right to participate (vote) in .the elections. Elections should be free and fair and must be held at regular intervals. Citizens who have reached a certain age (in India, it is 25 years for election to Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies) are allowed to contest elections.
(iii) CIVIL LIBERTIES :
An important characteristic of democracy is that it grants top civil liberties to the citizens. They enjoy freedoms of speech, expression, and information. Citizens have a right to form, join or quit an association. It includes the right to form political party.
(iv) RULE OF LAW :
Another characteristic of democracy is that it ensures rule of law. Law is supreme and all the citizens are equal in the eyes of law. No one is above law.
