liberal concept of democracy

The most basic concepts of democracy are as follows: 1. Necessity of compromise 2. Equality of all persons 3. Majority rule with minority rights 4. Individual Liberty 5. Worth of the individual
The basic concept of any Democracy is "majority rule." Pure Democracy is both praised and ridiculed due to this fact.Some people feel that majority rule is the most morally acceptable and practical form of governing. Others feels that Democracy is "two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch." That is, "mob rule," in which the majority can do anything they please to the minority, regardless of its morality or practicality. Still others feel that Democracy is morally acceptable only when implemented in an indirect manner.This is what the current U.S. governmental system is based on: a Constitutional Representative Democratic Republic. That is, a republic in which the people democratically choose leaders to represent them, who are (supposedly) bound by a constitution.
The ancient Hebrews had no concept of democracy, and therefore had contributed nothing to it.

direct democracy
The English institution that contributed greatly to American democracy is the British Parliament. The American colonists drew inspiration from the English Parliament's system of representative government, including the concept of a bicameral legislature with a House of Commons and a House of Lords. The ideas and structures of English parliamentary democracy influenced the development of the United States' own system of government.
