God has made this world and all things to be found in it dual in nature. If there is happiness then there is bleakness as well. The coin has two sides and so has democracy. If we unfold the book of history, we find the supporters as well as opponents of Democracy, yet by far the empirical evidence suggests if it is not ideal then it is close to being one.

The laughing philosopher Democritus says, "The will of majority is never good as foresight and wisdom is not an abundant commodity". The Socrates drank the cup of hemlock as he rebelled against the will of majority, his disciple Plato was also adamant that only "Philosopher king has the right to rule". They talk about the time when education, the prerequisite for democracy to succeed, was not as widespread as it is today and people did not have the knowledge to do the right decisions for themselves, but today the people have knowledge as well as perspicacity to take effective decisions thanks to education and media and not to forget the ever available information on Internet.

"Democracy is the government of the people, for the people, by the people", says Abraham Lincoln. The democracy is the government in which will of the common people is supreme, they rule by themselves or by their representatives who take every decision that is in the interest of the people at large. Francis Bacon says, "Democracy might fail but what wins is the will of people". Democracy has protected the human rights by introducing habeas Corpus and like things. We see today that all the Developed and most civilized countries have democratic form of government, this is the clear manifestation of how idealistic and successful that form of government is. When there is a democratic form of government, the society prospers at large and it also educates the people politically, all these countries that saw major revolutions like French revolution of 1789 and Bolshevik revolution of 1917 in Russia had autocratic forms of governments so these were replaced by such a system in which people have their voice, so democracy ensures tranquil society which leads to economic and social prosperity.

As every thing has pros as well as cons, i reiterate that democracy is no exception, yet it is relatively the best form of Government. We have seen in above paragraph that democracy is successfully working in many developed countries. Dictatorship and Monarchy cannot promise the benefits that democracy has to offer, so it is comparatively better than other forms of governments. so we can safely conclude taking into consideration the discussion so far that Democracy is relatively an ideal form of government if we curb the factors such as misrepresentation and selfishness of masses beside educating them so that they can decide for themselves what is right and what is not.
