how democracy can enhance the dignity of the citizens

Q- How democracy can enhance the dignity of citizens?

Answer- Democracy can enhance the dignity of citizens by the following ways:

1. Every government in the contemporary world wants to be called a democratic country, even if it is not so.

2. But if we use this definition in an unthinking manner, we could end up calling almost every government that holds an election is democratic. That would be misleading.

3. The simple definition of democracy is not adequate. It reminds us that democracy is people’s rule.

4. That is why we need to carefully distinguish between a democratic country, even if it is not so.

5. We can do so by defining it carefully that democracy is a form of government in which the rulers are elected by the people and the final decision-making power must rest with those elected by the people.

6. Democracy is based on the principle of political equality, on recognizing that the poorest and the illiterate has the same status as rich and educated.

7. People are not subjects of a ruler, they are the rulers themselves.

8. Even when they make mistakes, they are responsible for their conduct.
