The citizens should strive for mental and physical <a href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/ru\/definition-of-growth-and-development\/\">development<\/a> through education. They should be able to earn their livelihood though education. Otherwise unemployment shall prove harmful for democracy. In short, ideal citizens are prepared through education without which democracy cannot become successful.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enlightened_Citizenship\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Enlightened Citizenship<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">People should have the knowledge of their rights and duties to make democracy as success. So long as the citizens do not perform their duties, the question of the success of democracy cannot arise. If the performance of duties is essential, it is equally essential for the citizens to become conscious of their rights, without which there is every possibility of the government becoming autocrat. Therefore, it is said that \u2018Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.azquotes.com\/picture-quotes\/quote-an-enlightened-citizen-is-an-indispensable-ingredient-of-the-infrastructure-of-democracy-barbara-117-75-38.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.azquotes.com\/picture-quotes\/quote-an-enlightened-citizen-is-an-indispensable-ingredient-of-the-infrastructure-of-democracy-barbara-117-75-38.jpg?resize=850%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Enlightened Citizenship FOR SUCCESSFUL WORKING DEMOCRACY\" width=\"850\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Political_Awakening\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Political Awakening:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">It is essential to inculcate political awakening among the citizens to make democracy a success. Where there is no political awakening, the citizens fail to understand the political problems. They are also unable to elect their representatives properly. Political disinterestedness does not help the citizens to understand the economic and political problems of the day and contribute their mite to the implementation of various national plans defense efforts of the country<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Freedom\"><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Freedom:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Democracy guarantees the citizens the freedom of expression, freedom of profession, freedom of religion and freedom to form associations. A free and fearless press is the basic need of democracy in order to keep under check the autocratic activities of the government. In the countries where press is not free, citizens cannot criticize the government with the result that they cannot fully enjoy much freedom. In Russia, China and other Communist countries, the press is not free to criticize the government. Press is also not free in the countries where there is military dictatorship.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Equality\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Equality:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Democracy does not recognize class distinctions. It is based on social, economic and political equality. In democracy all are equal before law and there is no discrimination on the basis of caste, colour, religion, sex and economic status. Economic equality does not mean that everybody should be given equal emoluments it means equality of opportunity, and a fair and open field for all. This kind of equality ensures social justice which is the very life-breath of a democracy. Equality thus means giving everybody right to vote and contest election irrespective of caste, religion, property, sex, colour and creed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Law_and_Order\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Law and Order:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The maintenance of law and order in society by the government is another essential condition for the success of democracy. Anarchy prevails where government fails to maintain law and order and the people\u2019s faith in government is shaken. They look towards dictatorship in order to get rid of anarchy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spirit_of_Co-operation\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Spirit of Co-operation<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Every democracy has to face many economic, social, religious and political problems. In dictatorship, these problems are solved by the dictator according to his own whim. In absolute monarchy, the situation is similar to dictatorship, but it is different in a democracy. In democracy the Prime Minister or the President cannot act arbitrarily but they have to find the solution of problems according to the wishes of the Parliament or of the people. These problems can be solved by the co-operation of the people. Further, a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/ru\/concept-of-democracy\/\">democracy<\/a> can flourish only if there is no big gap between the thinking of the people and of the government and when there is a spirit of co-operation between them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.vantagecircle.com\/content\/images\/2020\/11\/Democratic_Leadership-01-min.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.vantagecircle.com\/content\/images\/2020\/11\/Democratic_Leadership-01-min.png?resize=681%2C382&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Spirit of Co-operation FOR SUCCESSFUL WORKING DEMOCRACY\" width=\"681\" height=\"382\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decentralization_of_Powers_and_Local_Self-Government\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Decentralization of Powers and Local Self-Government:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">For the success of a democracy, decentralization of powers is essential. The concentration of power makes the government autocratic. With the division of power between the Centre and the provinces, the burden of the Centre is reduced and the provinces get autonomy which ultimately brings efficiency in the administration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">With the introduction of local self-government, people take interest in the administration and they give full support to the government. The French writer De Tocqueville has rightly said that, \u201cLocal institutions constitute the strength of free nations. A nation may establish a system of free governments but without municipal institutions it cannot have the spirit of liberty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_Moral_Standard\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">High Moral Standard:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The success of democracy also depends upon the high moral standard of the people as well as of the government. Where there is dishonesty, black-marketing, hoarding and smuggling and where the ministers and public servants are corrupt, the question of the success of democracy does not arise. People should have the spirit of patriotism, discipline, self-control, honesty in payment of taxes and willing obedience to the laws of the land. The government should follow the ideal of service to the community, because a welfare state and a democracy are two inseparable things.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Social_and_Economic_Security\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Social and Economic Security:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Economic security is essential for the success of democracy. The people should be given the right to work and it is the duty of the government to provide them with suitable employment. In case the government is unable to provide it to the people, it should at least provide them with shelter, clothing and food. In Russia and in many other Communist countries, the government has given this right to the people in their constitution. Our government should also recognize this right of the people for the success of democracy in our country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Besides, social security is also essential. Now-a-days, the government fixes hours of work, salary, bonus, paid holidays and compensation for fatal accidents in order to save the labourers from exploitation by the capitalists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The government should provide social security to the people m case of their being disabled due to old age, illness, accident or any other cause. Without this provision, democracy shall be considered useless. People in Russia have full social security. In India, too, some concrete steps have been taken in this direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tolerance_and_Spirit_of_Unity\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Tolerance and Spirit of Unity:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">It is the responsibility of the people to make democracy a success. For this, the spirit of tolerance and unity is needed. In a country like India where we have a number of religions, languages and castes, and where we find a disparity between the rich and the poor, these qualities are very essential. In spite of mutual disagreements, the people should join together to face a national crisis. In case of foreign aggression, the people should forget their differences of caste, religion, language and province and try to preserve the freedom of their country with a spirit of devotion and sacrifice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sound_Party_System\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Sound Party System:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">In a democracy difference in views is not only tolerated but it is encouraged, because constructive criticism has an important place in a democracy. For this reason, many parties crop up in a democratic set-up. In the countries where there is only one party, and where other parties are banned, democracy cannot develop, only dictatorship develops there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">It happened in Germany during the time of Hitler and in Italy during the regime of Mussolini. This type of dictatorship was found in Russia, China, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Poland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">In order to make democracy a success, a healthy and influential opposition is a must; otherwise the ruling party will become an autocrat alter winning the election. The Opposition keeps a check on the autocratic activities of ministers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Without it, there is every likelihood of then being power-corrupt. Where there is a bi-party system the task of making democracy a success becomes easier because one party rules and the other keeps an effective check over its activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Where there are many parties, the legislature is divided into many small groups and no single party is in a position to form the government. The result is that coalition governments are installed which are not stable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Therefore, bi-party system is better than multi-party system. There is a bi-party system in England and in the U.S.A. There is a multi-party system in France, Italy and West Germany. That is why democracy is more successful in England and the U.S.A., than in other countries where there is multi-party system. In France during the Third and Fourth Republics the government was very unstable. As compared to France, there are fewer problems in Italy and West Germany, because certain parties are very powerful in these countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Written_Constitution_and_Independent_Judiciary\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\">Written Constitution and Independent Judiciary:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"background: white; line-height: 22.5pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0cm 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">For the successful functioning of democracy, people are given fundamental rights and written constitutions are introduced with a view to checking autocratic activities of the government.

In the absence of independent, impartial and periodical elections, the opposition parties shall try to change the government by a revolution with the help of military or by the use of violent force. In Pakistan, elections were not held for many years.
