Democratic Liberalism, also known as Liberal Democracy, is a political ideology that combines democratic principles with liberal philosophy. It is characterized by fair, free, and competitive elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, and the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties, and political freedoms for all people.

If you were to witness someone's rights being violated, what would you do, and why does it matter?
@9KS49742mos2MO
Well honestly participation is key in any democratic or republican stance so ofc we have to keep it up man
@9KS5CMWRepublican 2mos2MO
I would tell them that their rights are being violated, so they aren't being taken advantage of, and recommend counsel or other legal services. This matters because too many people are unaware, so if you know better, you can help them.
@9KS55DN2mos2MO
The victim should call in respected associates of both the victim and the perpetrator.
@9KS48FB2mos2MO
I would speak up against it depending on how serious, and the time and place
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
When a decision affects both you and others, how do you think it should be made?
@9KY2J3G2mos2MO
Depends entirely on the degree to which it affects people and to what end.
@9KY2HX72mos2MO
it should be made carefully but openly on how it would affect individuals
@9KXZLLY2mos2MO
It should be made by a person that's democratically decided to be the ultimate decision maker, with inputs and considerations from multiple perspectives, both positive and negative, with the decision making process being transparent as possible.

If you had to design a curriculum for civic education, what core principles would you include and why?
@9L94CRV2mos2MO
Some core principles I would include are free education and easier ways to get scholarships.
@9L94B682mos2MO
definitely will effect my life. i mean i went to taco bell the other day and no one could take my order because none of them could speak english.
@9L948JNWomen’s Equality2mos2MO
In liberal democracy, an elected government cannot discriminate against specific individuals or groups when it administers justice
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Reflect on a moment when you realized the importance of voting rights—what does the ability to vote mean to you?
The ability to vote means everything to me. Every aspect of American life can come down to a vote in any circumstance. So I believe it is important to be able to vote for a better country and a better future for all Americans, even if they may not agree.
@9HHL4RCIndependent6mos6MO
it means we the people have the right to our future, and how it looks will be dictated by the people, not the governments or corporations.
@9HHL47L6mos6MO
the ability to vote means that you are a devout american who wants only the best for this country and it people
@9HHKXDZ6mos6MO
It is vary important to me. I gives me independence.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What methods of peaceful resolution would you recommend when faced with a divisive issue in your community?
@9L95VFT2mos2MO
It sounds great to me. I'm sick of only Democrats or Republicans being the only ones to have a real chance of winning elections.
@9L94XF72mos2MO
Embracing Christian values changes peoples morals and this changes peoples opinions.
@9L94R9Z2mos2MO
Increase spending on safe handleing in political battle
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What does 'political freedom' mean to you, and why is it important in your life?
@9HHL7N56mos6MO
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE YOUR OWN POLITICAL OPINON AND BE ABLE TO STAND WITH IT.
@9HHLQDTPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
It means to be free and it's important to my life because it affects the people and how they feel
@9HHL7Q36mos6MO
Political freedom is when I am granted rights as an American citizen that are granted to me by my constitution that guarantees me my natural rights. This is important to me because it is hard to live a life without guaranteed freedoms.
@9HHLG986mos6MO
it lessens the fact of being free and that is what America is based on. Yet I'm in high school and I'm not necessarily qualified to speak on this topic but that's my personal beliefs.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Imagine living in a world where you can't criticize the government; how would that change your behavior?
@9HY97LVWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
it probably wouldnt change much because im not really interested in the government
@9HYCHCZ4mos4MO
Whether you pay attention to government or not the government affects every aspect of our lives and how we can live. You will be greatly disappointed.
@9HY9PNR4mos4MO
I would not like the government and the things they do a lot more due to it.
@9HY9LXX4mos4MO
I hope that I would still have the courage to speak out and challenge inequalities or unfair treatment.
Not much really, I would probably just hear less about the government as much stuff heard is criticizing towards them.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Have you ever witnessed or experienced censorship, and why is freedom of speech essential to democracy?
@9HTVPWVRepublican5mos5MO
The freedom of speech in important because then everyone is heard and then no one is getting their feeling hurt and everyone is equal.
@9HTV2MK5mos5MO
I have seen both of my parents censored on social media, and I think that free speech is necessary because it provides a lot of different points of view on different issues. It also is a human right
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do fair elections impact your confidence in the future of your country?
@9HYBLFVPeace and Freedom4mos4MO
The more fair the elections are and how great the presidents turn out, the more confidence I have for my future.
@9J27TCK4mos4MO
It is because if the elections shows off to be as fair and the person I am choosing to become a president shows to be doing changes for the country it will be making me feel more confident they will be doing as they say.
@9HY9T8J4mos4MO
Internal political efficacy did not directly affect voting behavior, but it had an indirect influence through the conscious decision actually to vote.
@9HY9S2W4mos4MO
i am an anarchist i do not have an opinion on this and think the government should be gone
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Reflect on a time when you, or someone you know, experienced inequality—how could a government have intervened?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How can a society ensure that all voices are heard, not just those in power or with influence?
@9HYB7SB4mos4MO
Society could hear all voices by constantly holding votes and censisus to get american's votes
@9HYB3KJRepublican4mos4MO
I think that people need to listen to each other and have an open mind so all opinions are heard.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Have you ever encountered a law that felt unfair, and how might a more open society prevent such laws?
