Liberal Democracy

Liberal democracy is a form of democracy that combines majority rule with the protection of individual rights and freedoms, ensuring that government power is limited by laws and institutions. It is characterized by free and fair elections, the rule of law, the separation of powers, and constitutional safeguards for civil liberties such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press. In a liberal democracy, minority rights are protected to prevent the "tyranny of the majority," ensuring that all individuals, regardless of background or beliefs, are treated equally and fairly. This system aims to balance collective decision-making with the protection of individual dignity and justice.
