Democracy is a form of government where the people have the authority to choose their governing legislation. It is a system where the whole population participates in the government. Key characteristics include civil rights for all, the ability for citizens to change their government through elections, and political accountability of representatives to citizens. Successful democracy requires majority rule, freedom of expression, political parties, tolerance between groups, economic justice, and respect for fundamental rights and the constitution. The advantages of democracy include that it establishes a popular and stable government capable of fostering patriotism, while disadvantages include that it can result in an incomplete vision and the autocracy of the majority.
