Democracy As a Goal  
Democracy  
Difficulties in Establishing Democracy 
• Common practices include free elections and  
 citizen participation 
• Also: majority rule, minority rights, constitutional  
 government 
• Difficult to establish democracy—even in U.S., took  
 many years 
• These practices need conditions in country to  
 support them 
• Education and a stable economy help 
• So do individual rights, rule by law, sense of  
 national identity
