Liberal democracy

Liberal democracy is a type of government where the people in a country vote for their leaders and are allowed to say what they think. This means that everyone in the country is allowed to have their own opinion and express it. Leaders are chosen by the people and the people can tell them what they want and the leaders have to listen. This way, everyone in the country can have a say in the government and help shape the country.
