List and briefly explain any five core principles of democracy .​

consent of the governed, representative government, individual rights, the rule of law, and a system of checks and balances.

Explanation:

consent of the governed - the idea that a government's legitimacy and moral right to use state power is only justified and lawful when consented to by the people or society over which that political power is exercised.

representative government - founded on the principle of elected persons representing a group of people, as opposed to direct democracy.

individual rights - the liberties of each individual to pursue life and goals without interference from other individuals or the government.

rule of law - the restriction of the arbitrary exercise of power by subordinating it to well-defined and established laws.

checks and balances - counterbalancing influences by which an organization or system is regulated, typically those ensuring that political power is not concentrated in the hands of individuals or groups.
