Democracy

This position holds that democracy is the best system of government. It argues that democracies are distinguished by personal freedom and the protection of human rights, and that citizen participation — above all the right to vote — is what gives the system its legitimacy and strength.

  1. Voting is an important element of Democracy
    Voting is one of the most important aspects of a government. The right to vote or not emphasizes where most of the power of the government goes to: the people or the government.
  2. Human Rights
    Human rights are one of the most debated topics in the world. There are governments that contravene citizens' human rights in the past. But in democracies, civilians are treated differently.
