what is the difference between liberal and democracy?

Answer 1

Liberalism refers to a broad array of related doctrines, ideologies, philosophical views, and political traditions which hold that individual liberty is the primary political value.[1] Liberalism has its roots in the Western Age of Enlightenment, but the term has taken on different meanings in different time periods.

Democracy (literally "rule by the people", from the Greek demos, "people", and kratos, "rule"[1]) is a form of government. While the term democracy is typically used in the context of a political state, the principles are also applicable to other groups and organizations.

Answer 5

They are unrelated and not even directly comparable.

Liberal is a politicial philosophy. Specifically, it is a philiosophy that promotes individual rights and benefits over society.

Democracy is a model of how a government works. Specifically, that everyone (or some defined subset -- adults, citizens, property owners, whatever) vote to make decisions.

What someone believes is the proper role of government, and which values are more important, has absolutely nothing to do with the manner in which the government is organized.
