Costa Rican democracy

Costa Rican democracy is a stable, representative system where citizens participate in free elections to choose their leaders, including the president and deputies. It features a separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, ensuring checks and balances. The country values political pluralism, respect for human rights, and peaceful transitions of power. Since the 1949 abolition of its military, Costa Rica has prioritized education, social welfare, and environmental conservation, making it a model of democratic stability and inclusive governance in Central America.
