What are some arguments in favour of democracy

A functioning democracy is the form of government that supplies its citizens with the most freedom, the most opportunity, the greatest prosperity, and the most pleasant life. It is also the most stable form and by far the most fun.

Explanation:  If you examine the prosperity of people through history yo can notice that democracy has had better performance in terms of promoting wellfare to citizens.

The principal purposes for which the People establish democratic government are the protection and promotion of their rights, interests, and welfare. Democracy requires that each individual be free to participate in the political community's self-government.

The advantage of a representative democracy is its efficiency. A large group of people receive the benefits of living in a democracy by having one representative vote according to their needs, wishes or desires. It saves time and money for the government so the funds can be used for other purposes.
