14 Values of Democracy

Judges decide according to the law and the facts.  They don't depend on influence or money from others.

Elections and the government itself should be made up of more than just one political party

No one is above the law. Laws apply to regular citizens as well as the wealthiest and the most powerful citizens.

People are free to spend their money as they wish(as long as it's legal). You can go after any job you

You have a duty to take part in your government. There are lots of ways for people to “take part” (voting for example)

These are basic rights that everyone gets and cannot be taken away.

We elect a president every 4 years. Other elections happen at regular points. We limit unfair obstacles to voting.

Government is not allowed to conduct business in secret. Meetings and other government information MUST be available.

If an elected representative does not do their job we, the people have a right to replace them (by voting them out!)

People in government have limits to what they can do. Checks and balances in the system control how much person can do

A list of the rights that you are guaranteed and the limits of the government's power are specifically written down.

We must protect those in the minority and we don't exclude different political views or opinions

In the eyes of the law there is no favoritism. People have equal protection under the law

There is a peaceful transfer of power. You can protest but you can't use force to stay in power.
