Democracy originated from the Greek words "demos" meaning people and "kratia" meaning rule. It is defined as a system of governance where citizens elect representatives to form the governing body. Key features of democracy include representatives elected by the people making major decisions, free and fair elections where the current rulers could lose power, each citizen having an equal vote, and the government being limited by constitutional law and citizen rights. Both direct democracy, where citizens vote directly on decisions, and representative democracy, where citizens elect representatives, exist as forms of democracy.

3) The document concludes democracy best enables a country to develop by decentralizing power and respecting institutions, media, and judicial systems.
C5 - Political Culture
This document defines political culture and discusses theories of political culture in liberal democracies and authoritarian countries. It summarizes Almond and Verba's theory of civic culture, which identifies three types of political cultures (parochial, subject, participant) and argues a stable democracy requires a blending of these, especially a majority of participants. It also discusses theories of political trust, social capital, and post-materialism and how governments may respond to political culture.
Political science 12
- Political science can be defined as both a science and an art. It is the study of the state, government, and politics. There are arguments on both sides as to whether it is a science or an art.
- Traditionally, political science focused on the study of the state and government. However, its scope has expanded and it now studies all facets of power relations and human behavior with political implications.
- Its nature has also evolved over time as empirical studies now employ scientific tools like surveys and data analysis. But challenges remain due to the complexity of political phenomena and difficulties experimenting in the political realm.
Liberal Democracy by Muhammad Muinul Islam
Liberal democracy combines majority rule with protections for individual rights. It is defined as a democracy where majoritarian decisions prevail in many policy areas, as long as they do not violate individuals' liberties and rights as outlined in a constitution. There are several major variants of liberal democracy that differ in their constitutional organization, election rules, party systems, and levels of citizen participation. Examples of liberal democracies include the USA, France, and Switzerland.

Legitimicy1
This document discusses the concepts of legitimacy, sovereignty, and authority. It defines legitimacy as both the legal right to govern but also the psychological right in people's minds. Legitimacy refers to whether a government's rule is viewed as rightful. Sovereignty originally referred to a monarch's power but now means national control over a country's territory. Authority is the ability of leaders to get others to obey based on their legitimate power. Where legitimacy is weak, sovereignty and authority are also likely to erode as people feel less obligation to obey the government.
Theories of Political Science
Political Science inquiry today is influenced by the theories that have been developed and presented over several centuries.
According to Oxford Dictionary of Politics, Political Science is a social science discipline concerned with the study of the state, nation, government, and politics and policies of government. Aristotle defined it as the study of the state. It deals extensively with the theory and practice of politics, and the analysis of political systems, political behavior, and political culture. Political scientists "see themselves engaged in revealing the relationships underlying political events and conditions, and from these revelations they attempt to construct general principles about the way the world of politics works. Political science intersects with other fields; including economics, law, sociology, history, anthropology, public administration, public policy, national politics, international relations, comparative politics, psychology, political organization, and political theory. Although it was codified in the 19th century, when all the social sciences were established, political science has ancient roots; indeed, it originated almost 2,500 years ago with the works of Plato and Aristotle.

Democracy01
Democracy, dictatorship, and development were discussed. Democracy refers to government by the people through elections with freedoms, while dictatorship is rule by one person or party without freedoms. Development requires meeting people's basic needs, equality, jobs, education, and self-sufficiency. Democracy is argued to better promote development through equality, quality decisions, conflict resolution, and correcting mistakes. Some criticize democracy as ineffective or allowing poor leadership, but it is seen as generally empowering citizens and leading to stability and rights. Most developed countries today have democratic governments.
Procedural democracy
Procedural democracy refers to the specific procedures that produce a democratically elected government, such as regular elections based on universal suffrage. It focuses on the electoral process rather than substantive outcomes. There are two views of democracy - procedural and substantive. Procedural democracy argues that competitive elections alone are sufficient to produce a democratic system, while substantive democracy believes more political rights and civil liberties are also necessary. Procedural democracy has advantages like stability but disadvantages like the potential for leaders to manipulate procedures for their own benefit.

Democracy originates from ancient Greek meaning "rule of the people". The fundamental principle of democracy is that governing power is exercised based on the judgment of adult citizens through free and fair elections. Democracies can take different forms depending on the level of citizen participation. While democracy protects citizen interests and prevents monopoly of power, it also risks misuse of funds, corruption, and wrong choices due to emphasis on quantity over quality.
Outcomes of democracy
Democracy promotes several important outcomes according to the document:
1. It creates a more accountable, responsive and legitimate form of government where citizens can elect their rulers and hold them responsible through elections and public debate.
2. While it may not guarantee economic growth, democracy does not significantly lag behind other systems in promoting development.
3. Democracies have a mixed record in reducing inequality and poverty but provide better opportunities than other systems to address issues facing disadvantaged groups.
4. Democracy is better suited than other forms of government at accommodating social diversity and handling internal conflicts through non-violent means.
Democracies and Elections
The document lists the members of a group and discusses democracy and elections. It defines democracy as a form of government where citizens have equal say in decisions. It outlines principles of democracy like rule of law, citizen participation, and free and fair elections. The benefits of democracy discussed are protection from oppression and laws that ensure citizen safety. Elections allow citizens to choose representatives and influence policies through voting. Key aspects covered are voting rights, voter registration, and primary vs general elections.
Democracy-complete-notes.pdf
Democracy is a complex term that generally refers to a system of government where the will of the majority prevails. It originated from ancient Greek words meaning "rule of the people." There are different forms and definitions of democracy, including direct democracy practiced in ancient Athens and modern Switzerland, and indirect or representative democracy that has evolved in Western Europe. Key aspects of a democratic system include principles of sovereignty of the people, social justice and equality, and protection of fundamental rights. A dictatorship is a rigid form of government where one person owns all state powers and citizens have few liberties, in contrast to democracy where people are the ultimate rulers.

atmospheric pressure of class 7
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air above pressing down. It is measured in millibars using a barometer. There are mercury and aneroid barometers. Pressure varies due to altitude, temperature, and water vapor content. Higher altitudes, warmer temperatures, and more moisture all result in lower air pressure. The earth's rotation also affects pressure, creating semi-permanent high and low pressure belts globally.

Drainage
This document discusses India's drainage systems and major river basins. It outlines the Himalayan rivers of the Indus, Ganga, and Brahmaputra that drain northern India, and describes their respective river systems. It also mentions the peninsula rivers of the Narmada, Tapi, Godavari, Mahanadi, Krishna, Kaveri and discusses India's lakes and their role in the economy as well as the issue of river pollution.
diffusion& osmosis
This document discusses diffusion and osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to lower. If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution with higher water concentration, the cell will gain water through osmosis and swell. In a hypertonic solution with lower water concentration, the cell will lose water through osmosis and shrink. If a plant cell loses too much water through long-term osmosis, it will undergo plasmolysis where the cytoplasm shrinks away from the cell wall.
french revolution class 9
The document summarizes the economic and social conditions in France prior to the French Revolution. It discusses how King Louis XVI faced an empty treasury and immense debt upon taking the throne. To raise funds, he increased taxes, which angered the middle class who had to bear the burden. Rising bread prices and poor harvests also led to widespread poverty and unrest among the common people. Enlightenment philosophers further challenged the absolute power of the monarch. When Louis called the Estates-General to approve more taxes, the Third Estate walked out and formed the National Assembly, marking the beginning of the Revolution.
rain on the roof
The poem describes the poet's experience listening to the sound of rain falling on the roof. In three sentences:
The poet finds it blissful to listen to the soft patter of raindrops on the roof, as it brings melancholy darkness relief and allows fanciful dreams and memories of the past to arise. Fond memories in particular come of the poet's mother putting them to sleep as a child while listening to the rain, bringing the feeling of her loving look.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 4. features of democracy 1. In democracy , the final decision making power must rest with those elected by the people 2. a democracy must be based on free and fair election where those currently in power have a fair chance of losing 3. in democracy each adult citizen must have one vote and each vote must have one value 4. a democratic government rules within limits set by constitutional law and citizen rights

- 7. Arguments for democracy • More accountable: Leaders need to respond to the needs of the people. Due to this, an independent and democratic country, like India has responded better to food scarcity than China. • Provides method to deal with differences and conflicts: In a socially diverse country like India, difference and conflicts are likely to occur. Only when one knows that no one is a permanent winner or loser, we can peacefully resolve clashes. • Improved quality of decision making: Due to consultation and discussion in a democracy and involvement of many people it is easier to point out mistakes in any decision. • Enhancement of dignity of citizens: Since everyone is treated equally and each person in a democracy is a ruler himself, people are responsible for their own conduct. • Correction of mistakes: In a democracy, mistakes cannot be hidden for wrong but are publically discussed and corrected.
