👉 The democratic project is a multifaceted endeavor aimed at realizing a society where power is held by the people, either directly or through freely chosen representatives. It encompasses the institutions, processes, and values that enable citizens to participate in decision-making, hold leaders accountable, and ensure equitable representation and distribution of resources. This includes free and fair elections, the rule of law, civil liberties, and mechanisms for public engagement and oversight. The democratic project seeks to balance individual freedoms with collective responsibilities, fostering a culture of inclusivity, transparency, and active citizenship to build a more just and responsive society.
