The characteristics of advanced democracies are that they are filled to the brim with both societal and economic freedom.

  1. This means that for a democracy to be advanced, it must not only have Freedom of religion and conscience, Freedom of expression and right of access to information, Freedom of assembly and freedom of association, separation of religion and politic, and multiparty elections, but must also have a lack of tariffs, a lack of protectionism, charity and not welfare, free-trade and not fair-trade, and a government that makes it easy to do business.
  2. Also, they need to have vast knowledge and contributions to 21st Century society & science. Examples: Games Workshop was developed in Britain. Answers.com was developed in Israel. Multi-seasonal coats (i.e. keeping you cool in the summer) were developed in Japan. GameStop was developed in America. Examples of knowledge: 54% of Israelis accept mutual ancestry as a biological reality. Ask almost any Irish, American, Swedish, Finnish, or Australian citizen if gravity is real and they'll say "yes". Batrachology (study of amphibians) as a separate science from Ichthyology (fishes) & Herpetology (reptiles) was invented by a biologist in France. Weta Workshop was developed in New Zealand.
  3. Finally, an advanced democracy judges countries by how governments treat their people. Advanced democracies are hostile to Non-democracies, but are neutral to pseudo-, fringe-, and proto-democracies unless they need a strategic location to start humanitarian intervention in neighboring non-democracies. Advanced democracies work as a team to ensure all governments fit the criteria in point #1.

What similarities exist between direct democracies and representative democracies?

Both direct democracies and representative democracies involve citizens participating in the decision-making process. In direct democracies, citizens directly vote on laws and policies, while in representative democracies, citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. Both systems aim to ensure that the government is accountable to the people and that their voices are heard in the decision-making process.


What is an advanced democracy?

An advanced democracy is a political system where citizens have a high degree of political freedom, government institutions are strong and transparent, the rule of law is well-established, and there are mechanisms in place to ensure accountability, participation, and representation of the people in decision-making processes. Advanced democracies typically have robust civil societies, independent media, and respect for human rights.

What is a major obstacle in building stable democracies?

A major obstacle in building stable democracies is lack of trust in political institutions, which can result in low voter turnout, political apathy, and a loss of confidence in the government's ability to address citizens' needs. Additionally, corruption, political polarization, and weak institutional frameworks can also hinder the establishment of stable democracies.


Why do most democratic countries not have a direct democracy?

Direct democracies can be slow and inefficient for larger populations. Representative democracies allow for more practical governance and decision-making by electing officials to represent the will of the people. This system also provides for more stability and expertise in policymaking.
