Question

write down limits and defects of democracy​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Criticism of democracy is grounded in democracy's purpose, process and outcomes. Since Classical antiquity and through the modern era, democracy has been associated with "rule of the people," "rule of the majority," and free selection or election either through direct participation or elected representation respectively, but has not been linked to a particular outcome.[1]

Political thinkers approach their critique of democracy from different perspectives. Many[who?] do not necessarily oppose democracy—"rule of the people"—but, rather, seek to expand or question its popular definition. In their work, they distinguish between democratic principles that are effectively implemented through undemocratic procedures; undemocratic principles that are implemented through democratic procedures; and variations of the same kind.

For instance, some critics of democracy would agree with Winston Churchill's famous remark, "No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."[2] While others, may be more prepared to describe existing democratic regimes as anything but "rule of the people."The limits of what we call democracy are not hidden to socialist activists — not that it’s only socialist activists who see a problem, Liberals as far back as John Stuart Mill brought up the tyrannical nature of democracy making several mentions to the ‘tyranny of the majority’. This ‘tyranny’ exercised itself by imposing moral rules on the entire population, whether they had personally agreed to it or not. Who you can marry or sleep with, whether or not recreational drugs are legal, decriminalized, or are subject to extrajudicial action (as in the Philippines), if abortions should be permitted, are all ways in which a state imposes itself on personal liberty and freedom of choice.
