In a democracy, citizens are allowed certain basic civil rights that ensure the protection of their individual welfare. These rights may range from freedom of speech to fair and equal treatment in law enforcement and judicial proceedings.
When all citizens are provided with an opportunity to have their voice heard and be involved in shaping laws, this ensures that conflicts between individuals or groups can be resolved peacefully through legislation rather than resorting to violence.
By creating a stable political system which allows free flow of ideas and goods, democracies actively encourage innovation and investement in businesses. This leads to higher levels of growth and development within the country, meaning more jobs and greater living standards for the population.
