Question

which is the limited and descriptive sense of democracy​

Answer 1

Answer:

The notion of democracy has evolved over time considerably.[2] The original form of democracy was a direct democracy, in which the people directly deliberate and decide on legislation. The most common form of democracy today is a representative democracy, where the people elect representatives to deliberate and decide on legislation, such as in parliamentary or presidential democracy.[3] Liquid democracy combines elements of these two basic types.

Prevalent day-to-day decision making of democracies is the majority rule,[4][5] though other decision making approaches like supermajority and consensus have also been integral to democracies. They serve the crucial purpose of inclusiveness and broader legitimacy on sensitive issues, counterbalancing majoritarianism, and therefore mostly take precedence on a constitutional level. In the common variant of liberal democracy, the powers of the majority are exercised within the framework of a representative democracy, but the constitution limits the majority and protects the minority, usually through the enjoyment by all of certain individual rights, e.g. freedom of speech, or freedom of association.[6][7]
