Democracy is a system of government in which power is exercised by the people, usually through elected representatives, or directly in some circumstances.

• The main elements that characterize a democracy include:

• Popular Participation: Citizens have the right to participate in the political process, either by voting in regular and free elections or by being directly involved in political decisions.

• Rule of Law: Everyone, including rulers, is subject to the law, which is applied equally and fairly

• Separation of Powers: The powers of the State (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) are separated to prevent abuses and ensure balance.

• Fundamental Freedoms: Rights such as freedom of speech, press, religion, and assembly are protected.

• Regular and Free Elections: Leaders are chosen through periodic, open, and transparent elections, in which all citizens have the right to vote.
