Answer: There are several ways to decide in a democratic system.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Before we give examples of democratic decision-making, we will highlight two different types of democracies. There are several types of democracies: liberal, popular, civil, socialist, majority, constitutional, direct, representative, etc. Two kinds of freedom are most often cited: direct, that is, direct democracy and representative - representative democracy, which is still linked to the two basic systems of government by the parliamentary and presidential republic.
  • As pointed out above, there are several ways of making decisions in a democratic society. The political cycle model emphasizes the essential aspects of political decision-making in democratic systems:
  • the heuristic (constructivist) concept of political problems and the common good;
  • competing governmental programs; in pluralistic societies, political arguments are often linked to interests;
  • political decision-making as a process of collective learning; the absence of omniscient players (such as leaders or parties with a salvation ideology);
  • the strong influence of public opinion and media reporting; the opportunity for citizens and interest groups to intervene and participate.
