Peaceful Modifications in the Government

Democracy can offer modifications in government without hostility. In a democracy, authority can be
reassigned from one party to another by the mode of elections. The power of the general public of a
country decides its ruling power.
Averting Monopoly
Furthermore, any government is confined to an election tenure after which it has to contend against
other parties to recover power. This method averts monopoly of the reigning party. The reigning
authorities have to ensure it functions effectively for its people as cannot continue being the authority
subsequent to carrying out its term unless re-elected by the people.
Feeling of Gratitude
This inculcates a feeling of responsibility towards the citizens. The reigning party owes their
accomplishment in the elections to the people of the country. This leads to a feeling of thankfulness
towards the citizens. It can act as their inspiration to function for the people for it is the general
masses that have absolute authority over selecting their government.
Social Responsibility of the Citizens
An additional vital advantage of democracy is that the citizens achieve a sense of contribution in the
procedure of selecting their government. They get the chance to speak out their views by method of
electoral voting. This gives ascend to a feeling of belongingness in the brains of the masses towards
their society and its well being.
Disadvantages of Democracy
Making the wrong choice
In a democratic country, it is the common man who has the supreme right to choose their legislature
and their prevailing authorities. As per a general study, not all the people are completely conscious of
the political circumstances in their nation. The common masses may not be acquainted of the political
matters in their society. This may lead to common man taking an erroneous selection during election.
Authorities May Lose focus
As the government is bound to changes and modification after each election tenure, the authorities
may function with a interim objective. Since they have to go through an election procedure after the
conclusion of each tenure, they may lose focus on functioning effectively for the citizens and instead
might concentrate on winning elections.
Hordes Have Influence
A further disadvantage of democracy is that hordes can manipulate citizens. People may vote in
support of a party under the pressure of the bulk. Constrained or influenced by the ideas of those
around, an individual may not put across his/her accurate judgment.
Democracy averts radicalism and encourages teamwork and synchronization. It also slows things
down, stops those in authority doing what they wish regardless of the majority's desires.
