For thousands of years, democracy has been the most acclaimed form of government. From the agoras of Athens, where democracy first emerged, to our world today, democracy has been a decisive element of modern world politics. The term democracy translates to “government of the people,” a system in which eligible citizens can decide by common vote. However, democracy has evolved radically over the centuries, as have its negative aspects. First, we need to clarify what counts as an “effective political system” and why democracy is, or is not, the most effective system of governance today. According to the World Governance Indicators (WGI), the effectiveness of governance can be assessed through elements such as individual liberty, freedom. A good example would be to look at the case of the United States. The legislative, judicial, and executive branches all have equal authority, making it impossible for a single body to hold all the powers. This is a very important aspect of modern democracy, as it generally prevents the formation of dictatorships. Motivated by public will, democracy is more stable than any other form of government; a democratic state is unlikely to be subjected to a revolution. Additionally, democracies tend to be wealthier than non-democratic countries. This is a tempting image for a country aspiring to democracy, but many attempts at democratization have failed in the past due to poor economic management. A prosperous economy means more social spending, which means better and safer living conditions for the population. Democracies ensure that everything is done to meet popular demand and that the well-being of the greatest number takes precedence over the well-being of the people. Even though many arguments are put forward against democratic regimes, it is clear that there is no other political system capable of carrying out the will of its citizens and giving power to the greatest number through election at scale. national level of representatives, mayors, presidents, etc. In ancient Greece, this concept was restricted to eligible men, but as our world has evolved, we have been able to extend democracy to all ethnicities and genders. As new democracies emerge, we must remember that no system is perfect and every democracy will have its drawbacks as well as unhappy people, but we must remember that no other political system aims to meet to the needs of its citizens, while providing a safe and liberal environment
