Democratic liberalism

Democratic liberalism is a type of government that looks to give people freedom, while also trying to make sure that everyone is treated fairly. In a liberal democracy, people get to make decisions through voting. Everyone gets a say in how the country is run, no matter where they come from or who they are. In addition, democratic liberalism looks to spread rights to people, like fair treatment, freedom of speech, and safety. This means that people can speak their minds and not be in danger for doing so, and everyone gets treated the same.
