First of all I will say meaning of democracy..

The word ‘democracy’ has a Greek origin. ‘Demo’ means ‘people’, whilst ‘cracy’ means ‘power’. Thus, a democracy is a type of government system where the people of the country have the power to make decisions about their country and the government doesn’t simply impose its decision on the people...

Here is merits and demerits..

Merits of Democracy

Real democracy repudiates all privileges of a special class or men. In a democracy, the principles of liberty and equality are very important factors, because it is only the people, who possess the right of vote for selecting their representatives entrusted with powers to run the government of the state.

In a democracy, all are equal before law. The people themselves make the rules and policies of the state through their representatives for the welfare of all classes of people, but not for a particular class. The rights and interests of every section of the people in a democratic state are adequately safeguarded. It can command the resources of all, because it stands for the benefit of all.

Democracy casts an ennobling influence on the minds of the people, because every citizen knows that it is his own government. It broadens the vision of all, neutralizing the inherent selfish tendencies of human mind.

Demerits of Democracy

There are many critics of democracy who condemn it on various grounds.

It has been said that the ideals of democracy are not capable of fulfillment. They say that for being a success, a real democracy requires a highly conscious social element possessing high civic qualities.

Intelligence, self-control and good conscience are pre-requisites for citizens to have a successful democratic society.

A majority is devoid of the capacity to understand the interests of the community. As a whole self-interest is generally pre-dominant and a majority of the people is unwilling to subordinate it to the general will of the community.

Some critics have said that it is a system of government by the poorest, the most ignorant and the most incapable.
