Is democracy the best form of government? | Debate.org
Because in Saudi there is a monarch rule and people are happy there but in india democracy is there and people are not happy here . Democracy leads to corruption and corruption leads to pooverty. No maters if a country is ruled by one people or a group of people .Even one person is enough to rule a country if it is good.And if leaders are not good a group of people also cant rule the country..
Well if panda bears really are black and white who is to say that they are Asian? What if butterflies really aren't butter-flies, I see no flies coated with butter flying around here. Having said all that, no... Democracy is not the best form of government, done and dusted. Period.
Because it is a lie. There is no true democracy right now. Majority only decides on candidates for a political office from given list and then the politicians decide instead of rest of population. So the politicians hide behind that lie and almost never go too prison for doing bad things because they have political immunity. So it isn't real democracy it is dream that will never come true.
Dictatorship is the best. It puts people under one leader, which seems to work out. Yes, a dictatorship may not be the most civil way to rule a nation, but it is the most unified what to rule a nation. People are all unified under one leader, and being unified is all that matters.
I think that of the current options it might be the best, but I think democracy has its issues as well. For example, you get other people deciding who is eligible to participate. That is wrong. In the past groups were not allowed to decide because of they were poor or belonged to a race. Its majority rule practice I dislike as well. The majority can dictate how I am supposed to live my life even if they don't participate in what they are dictating about.

Logically, a democracy denies the core necessity of a government. If people are too dangerous to be allowed no government, then why would you ask those same people to elect leaders? And then allow those leaders the ability to use other people, with a far more powerful monopoly of force, to stop the dangerous actions of those same people. It's equivalent to having prisoners elect a warden. Secondly, if democracy is used in absolutism, then its no better than mob rule. The only way to elevate this is by some form of Constitutionalism, but all that works for is when people have blind faith in this document and when they don't you go back to mob rule. Various versions of democracy also don't work out because inevitably you have an oligarchy of the powerful or rich like in Republics today. US politics are dominated by the rich and all they do is increase their own power and riches to make decisions.
A better solution to "democracy" is to have a system of force that has only the ability to use its monopoly to prevent basic crimes in small communities and protect the individuals of that system to have the maximum liberty possible. This is best by the advancement of civil institutions; people would be far more involved with this government because this is there communities at work. So a small-timed democracy with no monopoly of power or force in a small community is the only form of democracy that is acceptable.
First all there is no government is good, because it leads to people be oppressed. So anarchy should rule. As anarchy is total freedom, true anarchy I'd no rulers, there are laws made by people who all agreeon the laws. The individual shouldh ave the right do else he please, has long as he hurt no one has in the process.
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote. Marvin Simkin
We are a Republican Government. Real liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of Democracy It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity.~ Alexander Hamilton
Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.~ John Adams, 2nd President of the United States
Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death.~ James Madison, 4th President of the United States, Father of the ConstitutionThe experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived.~ John Quincy Adams, 6th President of the United States
Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.~ John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, 1801-1835
If one cannot be successful in their own personal life and take care of themselves, how could they take care of/control an entire country. Money makes the world go round. Money solves all problems. The poor should not have a say. If they want a say in government then they should work to become wealthy and successful. If you don't have enough drive to be successful then you should not be allowed to have a say or complain about a change in government.
