Democracy:The word democracy is a widely used term and represents a concept that transcends cultural, personal, and political parameters. The idea of democracy derives its moral strength from principles of individual autonomy and equality. It holds that all men are created equal and have unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness so that they may influence decisions that affect the fundamental precepts of life and society. Its principles require intentional actions and respect for the rule of law. Democracy is most healthy when the needs of diverse communities are understood and addressed. Join us as we explore the status of these principles, seeking answers on how deliberative institutions and individuals are preserving democracy for generations to come and to help us find a deeper understanding of Democracy as we strive toward a more perfect union.
