Defective democracy

Defective democracy is when a country's government isn't working the way it should. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as people not following the rules or not participating in the elections. In a defective democracy, citizens don't have their voices heard and their rights are not respected. This can lead to a lot of problems, such as poverty, inequality, and oppression of minorities. The good news is that people can work together to fix defective democracies and make sure they are respectful of everyone's rights.
