The Value of Democracy
Democracies have been described as multidimensional, meaning that it involves the study of culture and institutions as well as the choices of individuals. Both of these factors are formed by people and shaped by history. Culture consists of the unwritten rules of society, which guide the actions of leaders and may lead to the loss of public support if a leader does not abide by them. In this sense, the idea of democracy is a “non-linear” process in which political decisions are made by the majority of citizens.
While some might argue that a democracy cannot be a social system, others maintain that the practice of democratic rule requires citizens to be members of a unit. The question arises of whether the citizens of a unit have a right to participate in a democratic process, as their membership in a demos is required by law. This argument, based on the idea of equality, has several problems. As a result, some believe that the concept of democracy is inherently normative.
It is possible to say that democracy is valuable for social relationships. Because it provides the opportunity for people to associate with other people, democracy is unique. Associating with other people is a fundamental human capacity, and democracy is therefore beneficial for this. While this view may sound similar to the more common arguments about democracy’s instrumental value, it does not address how democratic institutions actually perform. As such, a broader understanding of democracy’s value may be helpful.
Liberal democracy refers to a regime in which the power of the majority cannot be taken against the will of the majority. It is in contrast to absolute power based on tradition, divine right, or voluntarism, which imposes military mobilization. The key is to establish a system of democracy that allows the majority to choose its government. However, a democracy should be flexible enough to respond to the challenges that may come its way. The first step is to recognize the unity of a society, and democracy will be achieved if this is possible.
As children grow, they will be able to participate in other forms of democracy. For instance, they can vote on what they want to play for recess, or decide what to play for recess. But, this type of democratic process is most effective when the citizens vote for leaders. This form of government is most powerful when citizens vote to elect those who will rule their lives. If the majority is not truly representative of its people, it will devolve into aristocracy or oligarchy.
The early days of democracy included the Roman Republic, where adult male citizens had the opportunity to participate in the governance of the state. In medieval city-based republics such as Venice and Florence, the role of the people in politics was limited. However, this practice continued to become widespread in the 15th century when Sweden allowed peasants to participate in the Riksdag. That is why democracy is still so important to our society. And it can still be seen in many parts of the world today.
