These really aren’t definitions of democracy Constitutions provide inclusiveness, constitutions are not unique to any system of governance, and can be the basis for any form of governance Collaboration with the people willing to abide by the system isn’t unique to any system of governance, and is required by all systems Democracy is just rule by majority

> Democracy is just rule by majority It's not, by any meaningful definition, and not how people who study it think about it. Democracy's are rule by majority and, just as essentially, protection of minority rights. You need both or you have nothing. The Bill of Rights in the US Constitution is the best known example.

  Those are factors of constitutions and has nothing inherently to do with democracies or any system Authoritarian dictatorships and single party countries have constitutions that give the same guarantees as seen in the Bill of Rights and other areas of the US Constitution You are conflating the definition of democracy with ideals you were taught to respect. This is indoctrination by definition of accepting a set of beliefs uncritically. Instead of trying to argue that point or differences between constitutional countries, you could just drop your expanded definition of democracy in favor of the rule by majority one.

    You should stop telling me what I think and why, stick to the issues, and stop lecturing people like you are an authority. You have no idea what I know or where I learned it, and it seems, have little real idea about these issues.

      okay, or do argue the point academics in democracies are viewing it uncritically too. democracy doesn't mean anything related to limitations of the government or a form of inclusivity that aspires to enfranchise everyone. it means rule of the eligible voting majority, just like when all states in the United States only allowed male land owners of Northwestern European descent vote, that was a democracy. All tweaks are adjectives, such as representative democracy, parliamentary democracy, etc. I'm not responding to the pending questions you generated because they are aspirations from completely left field, used to support your warped aspiration view of a form of governance that has no specific name, that you dream of as right and correct which you also consider a non-existent inclusive democracy to be. I am just hoping you try to explain your view so that you see that on a standardized test, my answer would be the "more correct" choice than your. If you chose your own answer you would get points off.
