Explanation
a) A democracy unsatisfied [by the support of the people] cannot long survive. We live in probably the most turbulent and tormented times in the history of this nation. But also we have as leaders an obligation to be fair and keep in perspective what we are and what we hope to be.
b) Democracy depends upon a literate, knowledgeable citizenry whose access to the broadest possible range of information enables them to participate as fully as possible in the public life of their society. Ignorance breeds apathy. Democracy thrives on the energy of citizens who are sustained by the unimpeded flow of ideas, data, opinions, and speculation.
c) The 2003 invasion of Iraq lasted from 20 March to 1 May 2003 and signaled the start of the Iraq War, which was dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom by the United States.

One person, one vote means that everyone in the country irrespective of the caste, gender and income earned is allowed to vote for his own representative and his vote is also considered important though the whole nation does not vote every time.

A monarchy is a form of government in which a group, usually a family called the dynasty, embodies the country's national identity and one of its members, called the monarch, exercises a role of sovereignty. The actual power of the monarch may vary from purely symbolic, to partial and restricted, to completely autocratic.
The possibility of controlling leaders by requiring them to submit to regular and periodic elections helps to solve the problem of succession in leadership and thus contributes to the continuation of democracy. Moreover, where the electoral process is competitive and forces candidates or parties to expose their records and future intentions to popular scrutiny, elections serve as forums for the discussion of public issues and facilitate the expression of public opinion. Elections thus provide political education for citizens and ensure the responsiveness of democratic governments to the will of the people.
