what is the most important aspect of democracy? and why?

Question

sovereignty for the people
due process
freedom
etc be specific with your answers

Answer 1

the most important aspect of democracy is representative democracy rather than direct democracy. Direct democracy is a hideous form of government known as mob rule.

Answer 2

freedom has to be the most important principle. we should have the freedom to go to school, find a job, and do what we want with our leisure. the only time that our freedom needs to be restricted is when we are harming others. that is when justice would kick in and the authorities become involved. healthy people would rarely see their freedoms restricted except when they are driving. once we are finished high school, we should have the freedom to do whatever we want with our lives, however motivated we are.

Answer 3

Its that our founding parents knew that they where not perfect and that the constitution of the united states would need a way to grow and change as time does. It is too bad that sometimes people us their own agenda to pervert it that is also why they put in the checks and balance's in place so that no one branch has too much power.

Answer 4

To me is freedom. Because you can choose de best, you can go and came, you can give your opinion, talk about all things etc...
