Solution

Dear Student,
The features of democracy are:
1. All the major decisions are taken by the candidates elected by people. For instance, in India all the decisions of the country are taken by the government.
2. Elections provide with fair opportunity to the people to change the present government. This suggests the importance of dissolution of government, which takes place when citizens of a nation are not satisfied with its working.
3. The opportunity of dissolving the government is equal for all. This suggests that every citizen has some rights which are equal for all.
4. Regular elections and the option of dissolution makes the powers of government limited in nature. There is also an organised opposition to keep a check on the ruling party
5. All citizens enjoy rights equally. E.g Right to freedom of speech
