It can be said that democracy is a political system in which the supreme power lies in the body of citizens who can elect people to represent them&period; It is a controversial topic&period; Some people say that democracy is the best choice for any country to run their government while others are in the favor of dictatorship or monarchy&period; It is true that both democracy and dictatorship have some advantages and disadvantages&period; Some of the advantages of democracy are given as&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">Democracy brings economic&comma; political and social stability to the country&period; Due to the political stability&comma; foreigners take interest in the country for investment&period; The countries like India&comma; United States etc have more foreign investment due to political stability as compared to the countries like Pakistan&comma; Bangladesh etc&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">Democracy encourages negotiation instead of military action against the citizens&period; This is the important advantage of democracy as various disputes can be solved through negotiation&period; For example there are different countries which contain rebel groups&period; These groups try to destabilize the country through terrorist activities&period; Such groups could be handled through effective negotiations which is only possible in democracy&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">In democracy there is circulation of governments&period; Every government has to complete a particular period of time&period; Due to this characteristic of democracy&comma; people can easily judge their leader i&period;e&period; whether he&sol;she is working for them or not&period; If they are not satisfied with the present government&comma; they can change it in the next election&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">History tells us that democratic states do not easily come under the pressure of super powers&period; They follow the decisions which are in the interest of the country rather than the super powers&period; The main reason is that they have got the power of civilians behind them&comma; which will support them in case of any mishap&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">In democracy civilians elect the leaders&period; If the leaders do not work properly the civilians will not give them vote in future&period; Due to this fact leader try to provide benefits to the civilians in order to remain in the government&period;

As the political leaders are elected for the short period of time so they focus on those plans&comma; which benefit the civilians quickly&period; This policy is helpful for the politicians because in this way they will be re-elected in the next elections&period; They are reluctant to start any long-term project which may be in favor of country&period;&&num;160&semi; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">There is lack of cooperation among the people&period; They do not use their votes to elect the proper person as their leader&period; The political leaders exploit this opportunity during the electing campaign&period; If all civilians use their votes&comma; political leaders will be in trouble because of great competition&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">In case of democracy ethnic and religious conflicts often occur&period; If there is government of one tribe&comma; they will misuse their powers against their rivals&period; This creates serious conflicts and disputes in the state which hinder the economic stability of the country&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">In democracy there are frequent changes in laws&period; If one government changes&comma; the other government comes with some new laws&comma; which are favorable for them and not for the country&period; Due to these changes the law enforcement agencies find the way to misuse their powers&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">Corruption is also a big disadvantage of democracy&period; Since every political party spends lot of resources to win the election therefore when they win the election they start recovering their expenditures&comma; which gives birth to the corruption&period; Secondly there are some temporary leaders&comma; which feel that they will never be elected in the future so they try their level best to collect as much money as possible to live a prosperous life in the future&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">Although it may seem that democracy is not a good choice for any country because of its various drawbacks&period; But the fact is that&comma; it is not the proper implementation of democracy which creates such problems&period; The fruits of democracy would be visible only through the proper implementation of democracy&period; For example free and fair election&comma; independent judiciary system&comma; empowering law enforcement agencies etc&period; are some of the important factors for the effective implementation of democracy&NewLine;<&excl;-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v&period; 2&period;0&period;95 -->&NewLine;<div class&equals;"quads-location quads-ad3" id&equals;"quads-ad3" style&equals;"float&colon;none&semi;margin&colon;0px&semi;">&NewLine;&NewLine;<&sol;div>&NewLine;&NewLine;
