         <description><![CDATA[<div>Democracy contrasts with forms of government where power is either held by an individual, as in an absolute monarchy, or where power is held by a small number of individuals, as in an oligarchy. Nevertheless, these oppositions, inherited from Greek philosophy,[12] are now ambiguous because contemporary governments have mixed democratic, oligarchic and monarchic elements. Karl Popper defined democracy in contrast to dictatorship or tyranny, thus focusing on opportunities for the people to control their leaders and to oust them without the need for a revolution.[13]<br>(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy)<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Democracy is the idea that the citizens of a country should take an active role in the government of their country and manage it directly or through elected representatives. In addition, it supports the idea that the people can replace their government through peaceful transfers of power rather than violent uprising or revolution. Thus, a key part of democracy is that the people have a voice. <br><br>https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/democracy-ancient-greece/ </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>While their opinions vary, a consensus of political scientists agree that most democracies are based on six foundational elements:</div><ul><li>Popular sovereignty: The principle that the government is created and maintained by the consent of the people through their elected representatives.</li><li>An Electoral System: Since according to the principle of popular sovereignty, the people are the source of all political power, a clearly defined system of conducting free and fair elections is essential.</li><li>Public Participation: Democracies rarely survive without the active participation of the people. Health democracies enable and encourage the people to take part in their political and civic processes. </li><li>Separation of Powers: Based on a suspicion of power concentrated in a single individual—like a king—or group, the constitutions of most democracies provide that political powers be separated and shared among the various governmental entities.</li><li>Human Rights: Along with their constitutionally enumerated rights freedoms, democracies protect the <a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/civil-liberties-4132996">human rights</a> of all citizens. In this context, human rights are those rights considered inherent to all human beings, regardless of nationality, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other considerations.</li><li>A Rule of Law: Also called <a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/due-process-of-law-in-the-us-constitution-4120210">due process of law</a>, the rule of law is the principle that all citizens are accountable to laws that are publicly created and equitably enforced in a manner consistent with human rights by an independent judicial system.</li></ul><div><br></div><div>https://www.thoughtco.com/democracy-definition-and-examples-5084624</div>]]></description>
