Freedom and Order. Usually there's a big divide between the two, but a democratic government allows the them to intertwine. Living in a democratic society is not by not by any stretch a utopia, but its better than many other forms of government that we've studied in this class. It's impossible to make every single person in a society happy because all humans possess different needs.
A democracy represents the people. Everyone is given the chance to make changes and give their opinions. I don't know about everyone else, but I do enjoy being allowed the freedom to state my opinions and I'm glad that there's more than one group of people and/or person deciding my fate, in a sense. The problems with monarchy and dictatorships are that society has no say in the decision making processes. One man to rule them all. Winston Churchill said once that "it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others have been tried." Democracy survives and although its not perfect, it's a better solution than many other government types.
