what are 3 pros and 3 cons of democracy?

Answer 1

I really wish you hadn't deleted the other question. I had a great answer I was posting when it told me you had deleted it. This is not a good question because a democracy is the ONLY way to go. I personally don't want to be dictated to about how to live my life.

Answer 2

Pros. 1. The merchant class is empowered --as opposed to an aristocracy that inherits wealth. 2. Labor unions tend to fight successfully for the working man. 3. Minorites rights shape policy -- there is less of a tyranny of the majority. The majority sects are criticized in the open.

Cons. 1. Corruption is always a problem when money influences legislation that helps the merchant class -- Lobbyist have too much power. 2. All political parties are slaves to global capitalism. 3. Neither party can conduct meaningful Congressional oversight. The corruption in democracy is too pervasive. The power of the Executive branch has never been effectively checked by Congress.
