What must not take place in a democracy if it is a good democracy?

The three major challenges faced by modern democracies are:


1. Foundational Challenge: It means bringing down the nondemocratic regime in the country and setting up its foundation. It should focus on keeping away the military from the government and setting up a sovereign state.


2. Challenge of expansion: A democratic government has to expand its ideas, approaches, and principles to all the areas. All the social, economic and political groups have to fall into this category. Women and minority groups should also be involved in this challenge of the expansion of democracy.


3. Challenge of deepening a democracy: This means exercising democracy in practice. Every government has to face it in one way or the other. It must focus on involving more people. it should also focus on controlling the rick traders so that they do not influence the decisions of the government.
