1. In a Democracy, people have the right to choose their representatives and exercise control over them. They have the right to participate in the process of decision making that affects them all. A democratic form of governance, thus, produces a government that is accountable and responsive to the needs of its citizens. 2. Democracy allows a room for discussion, which may delay the process of implementation, but in the long run, serves as a healthy and productive way of decision making. Therefore, one can undoubtedly say that the cost of time that democracy pays is perhaps worth the effort. 3. Democracy also ensures that decision making is based on a set of norms and procedures. Therefore, in case, a citizen wishes to know if a decision was taken through correct and unbiased procedures, he/she has the opportunity to discover and find it out by examining the procedure in detail, thus, ensuring transparency.
