Democracy is the political regime in which sovereignty is exercised by the people. It is a regime of government in which all important political decisions are with the people, who elect their representatives through the vote.
One of the main functions of democracy is the protection of fundamental human rights, such as freedom of expression, religion, legal protection, and opportunities for participation in the political, economic, and cultural life of society.
