Over the years there has been a change in the political systems of different countries. Most countries before their independence had an oppressive kind of rule over them. After the gain of independence most countries abandoned the dictatorial rule and oppressive rule. After the end of the oppressive rule people changed to a representative way of ruling. This has brought more benefits to the citizens of many countries as compared to the previous way of ruling that was so oppressive to the citizens by the colonies.

Democracy has assured the protection of the citizen’s interest. Citizens in a democratic country have their interests protected as they are allowed to vote for their representative and who they want to be on the steering wheel leading them. Since you are the ones choosing who to represent who represents you in the government you will choose the person you see fit to represent all your interests. People are allowed to vote in a democratic country giving them a chance to take part in decision making. Democracy has also helped eradicate the monopoly of authority, due to the process of election in a democratic government, it has seen the circulation of the people in authority preventing one person being in power for a long period denying other that have better leadership skills to be in power. Back then, you would stay in power for a long period of time due to your strength, and the degree of your cruelty, but with the coming of democracy and the process of voting, this has been done away with giving everyone that has the potential of leading to be in power.
Democracy has also improved the quality of leadership by improving the stability and responsibility of the leaders. In a democratic country, you are voted to fulfill your policies; if you don’t do so, you run the risk of being taken out of power. Because of this rotatory kind of leadership, it has helped keep leaders on the run to try and fulfill their policies to the citizens which have made them more responsible. Change has been brought due to the democracy. Because of the different leaders rising to power in a democratic country it has influenced change due to their different ideas. Since the citizens are also allowed to speak their minds, they can bring different ideas of change.

This is better since it does not give those in authority the opportunity to oppress those that are not in power since no one is above the law. In conclusion, from the above article you can see some of the benefits that democracy has brought to a country and fight to maintain the democracy.
