Intro to Political Research
Democracies are political systems where power is vested in the people, who exercise that power directly or through elected representatives. These systems are characterized by principles such as free and fair elections, protection of individual rights, and the rule of law, which ensure accountability and participation in governance. Democracies can vary in structure and function but generally promote transparency and public involvement in decision-making processes.
