Fundamental Freedoms and Human Rights Basic
freedom and human rights should always be on top.
These basic liberties include among many
individual freedom, speech freedom, assembly
freedom, and media freedom. In addition, these
freedoms allow people to express their views,
criticize the government, and also join together
to take action to bring change in their

societies. As opposed to authoritarian
governments which usually suppress any form of
disagreement through force democracies allow for
constructive criticisms thus it becomes possible
to even criticize constructively while suggesting
alternatives without fear of being victimized by
the state machinery. This would amount to
directly stifling innovation as well as
development at a large scale. Political
Accountability and Transparency Another key
benefit of democracy is that it provides for
transparency and accountability in political
leadership. In a democratic system, those who
are elected into various offices can have a code
of conduct enforced against them. As they know
that they have to seek re-election after their
term expires. Hence this will make them more
careful not to participate in any activity
deemed against the will of people.

thereby rendering null void an attempt made to
seek another mandate through the same platform,
where the initial violation started.

Adaptability and Innovation One benefit of
democracy is its ability to adapt and innovate.
Democratic systems allow information and ideas
to move freely, which is essential for
scientific progress and technological
growth. Additionally, the clash of ideas in a
democratic setting leads to invention and
solving problems. These aside, elections enable
power to be transferred peacefully so that new
policies can be put in place that meet the
changing needs and aspirations of
people. Conflict Resolution and Peace Through
this process, there are institutional mechanisms
put in place for handling complaints as well as
finding solutions to conflicts that may arise.
This method not only helps in promoting peace at
the national level but also contributes greatly
towards world peace. Moral and Ethical
Considerations

considered to be the most ethical form of
government, but a short answer would be that it
therefore respects the intrinsic worth and
dignity of every human being.

The principles of equality, justice, and freedom
which are fundamental to democratic governance
are consistent with universal moral
standards. Moreover, by including people in
decision-making processes and safeguarding their
rights, democratic systems observe the ethical
rule of treating individuals as ends in
themselves rather than merely means to an
end. Conclusion Democracy is preferred over
other forms of government owing to its adherence
to basic liberties, political answerability,
legal certainty, social welfare, adaptability,
peace, legitimacy, sustainable development, and
ethicality.
