INTRODUCTION : 
Now it is a proved fact that Democracy is the best form of government so far. Still democracy is facing several kinds of problems but generally it is capable of accommodation and adjustments. The democracy too like any other form of governance have certain good and evil features. In this topic we will study how the democratic government is beneficial for its citizens and what kind of problems country faces because of this kind of set up. In a democracy people blame the government for various failures but at the same time want that it should prevail in the country. Thus democracy is always at the test, as it keeps on facing several challenges. We will study that if democracy prevails how it will affect the citizens of the country.

How do we assess democracy’s outcomes? 
    Democracy is better because it:
    ·    Promotes equality among citizens;
    ·    Enhances the dignity of the individual;
    ·    Improves the quality of decision-making;
    ·    Provides a method to resolve conflicts; and
    ·    Allows room to correct mistakes.

When we talk to people around us, most of them support democracy against other alternatives, such as rule by a monarch or military or religious leaders. But not so many of them would be satisfied with the democracy in practice.

So we face a dilemma: democracy is seen to be good in principle, but felt to be not so good in its practice. This dilemma invites us to think hard about the outcomes of democracy. Do we prefer democracy only for moral reasons, or prudential reasons.

COMMON FEATURES
    ·    formal constitutions
    ·    they hold elections
    ·    they have parties
    ·    they guarantee rights of citizens

DIFFERENT FEATURES
    ·    in terms of their social situations
    ·    their economic achievements
    ·    their cultures
    ·    out interest in and fascination for democracy often pushes us into taking a position that democracy can address all socio-economic and political               problems. If some of our expectations are not met, we start blaming the idea of democracy.

The first step towards thinking carefully about the outcomes of democracy is to recognise that democracy is just a form of government.
 ·    It can only create conditions for achieving something and the citizens have to take advantage of those conditions and achieve those goals.
