Liberal Democracy:

  • In a liberal democracy, the government is chosen (elected) as per the rules and law of the land.
  • Individual rights are given prior importance.
  • Free press and freedom to speech (civil liberties) are also guaranteed.
  • But It does not invest political authority with potentially unlimited power
  • Instead,  the government is held accountable to the common people and hence its power is limited.
  • The liberal democracy can be either monarchy (like England) or Republic (like India).
  • The concept had been put forward by Adam Smith and John Locke.
