- 7. A democracy has several essential features that distinguish it from other forms of government. First, the rulers are elected by the people, who hold the supreme power. Second, elections are held regularly and must be free and fair, giving people a genuine chance to choose and change their rulers. Third, the principle of political equality applies: every adult citizen has one vote, and each vote carries equal value, regardless of wealth or status. Fourth, voters must have a real choice between different candidates and parties. Fifth, the elected government must work within limits set by the constitution and the law, respecting the basic rights of citizens — that is, it must follow the rule of law. Only when all these features are present can a country be called truly democratic.
