Key Elements of a Democratic Government

Subject: Social Issues

Book: Civics - Class 6 (Social and Political Life - I)

Democracy is characterized by participation, accountability, and equality. In this topic, learners explore principles such as regular elections, rule of law, and the separation of powers. They also examine how dialogue and debate are essential for resolving conflicts and shaping policies that reflect the majority’s will while safeguarding minority rights. By looking at examples from Indian democracy—like Gram Sabhas where villagers vote on local issues—students understand how individuals can influence decisions that affect their lives. This foundational knowledge encourages active and responsible citizenship.
