hello and welcome me to educate
Leopold's calm we are continuing our
chapter democracy in the contemporary
world now we will see some phases in the
expansion of democracy the beginning of
democracy the story of modern democracy
actually became at least two centuries
ago since now we are living in 21st
century the story began in 19th century
and you all must subject button in your
history book regarding the Revolution
which happened in France and popularly
known as French Revolution of 1789 this
popular uprising did not only
established a secure and stable
democracy in France but it was almost
the mother of each and every struggle
which happened in all over Europe after
that means people were inspired by
French Revolution this popular uprising
throughout the 19th century the besi in
France was overthrown and again we is
told several times expansion of
democracy in Britain as France the
French Revolution started there in
around 1789
however in Britain the progress towards
democracy started much before the French
Revolution but it was quite slow through
the 18th and 19th centuries a series of
political events reduce the power of
monarchy and filter Lords the result of
that was the right to vote was granted
more and more people earlier it was in
the hand of
some limited people only now the
expansion of democracy nighted states of
america around the same time as the
French Revolution the British colonies
in North American continent declared
themselves as an independent democratic
states in 1776 and coming few years
these colonies came together to form the
United States of America USA they
adopted the democratic constitution in
1787 but the right to vote on the right
to cast their vote they are limited to
very few people Universal adult
franchise they are universal suffrage
what is this in the 19th century
struggles struggles for democracy often
centered around political equality
freedom and justice and one major devine
was the right for every adult citizen to
vote to use their voting power to use
the right to elect their representatives
to active government like many European
countries that were becoming democratic
they did not initially allow all their
citizens to cast their vote it was in
the hand of limited people sometimes it
was deeper rooted like the people who
were rich they were given this right
in some countries women did not have
this right to cast their vote the United
States of America the blacks were not
allowed to cast their vote they were not
allowed to exercise the right to vote
until 1965
and those who were struggling for
democracy wanted this right to be
granted universally to all adult
citizens of the country either men or
women rich or poor white or black means
this right should be equally among all
the citizens of the country this should
not be distributed on the basis of
gender on the basis of their chill
status all on the basis of their skin
color this is what we call universal
adult franchisee or universal suffrage
when was Universal adult franchise a
granted here we can see the list of
those countries which granted the
universal adult franchise in 1893 New
Zealand 1917 Russia 1918 Germany 1919
Netherlands 1928 Britain 1931 Sri Lanka
1934 Turkey 1944 France 1945 Japan 1950
India 1951 Argentina 1952 please 1955
Malaysia 1962 Australia 1965 u.s. 1978
Spain 1994 South Africa if this we can
no we can understand that the New
Zealand was the only country who had
given a adult citizen of this country to
cast their vote by the eighteen hundred
but if you see the map between earlier
we can see that many other countries are
marked as democratic countries by the
beginning of 20th century these empties
had the democratic government by that
time but it was elected by the limited
number of people means the people we're
having this to cast their vote on the
basis of their financial status on the
basis of the gender on the basis of
their skin color though they will also
call the democratic country but it was
not the definition of democracy the
government was elected by a significant
number of people mostly men and had
granted political freedom in some
measures and early democracy was
established in North America Latin
America and European countries thank you
