why do we say that liberals could not be called democratic
Answers
Hey mate!
I am here with your answer!
However these liberals are not democrats as they did not believe in universal adult franchise and voting rights for women which are some prominent features or characteristics of a democratic system. They felt voting rights must be given only to the propertied men of the society.
Hope this will help you.
Answer ⇒
The liberals could not be called democracy because even though they argued for a representative, elected parliamentary government, subject to laws interpreted by a well trained judiciary that was independent of rulers and officials, they did not believe in universal adult franchise and also did not want the voting rights for women. They felt that right to vote should only be given to the propertied man.
