Democracy, Advantages & Disadvantages


Democracy
In a democracy, the government is elected by the people. Everyone who is eligible to vote - which is a majority of the population - has a chance to have their say over who runs the country. India has the largest democratic government; others include Australia, Nigeria, Croatia, Philippines.

Advantages:
·         It is most "fair" to a majority of the people.
·         Everybody gets a fair say in everything, leading to a majority rule.
·         It includes everyone in the decision-making process.

Disadvantages:
·         Most people are not well enough informed to make decisions for the rest of the country.
·         The masses aren't always entirely right, and that could lead to some really bad decisions without a leader to guide them.
The chances of corruption are high in this form of government.
