Democracy in the Americas

Democracy in the Americas refers to the system of government where citizens have the right to choose their leaders through free and fair elections. This includes countries in North, Central, and South America, where democratic values such as individual liberty, equality, and participation are emphasized. While many nations in the region have established democratic systems, challenges like political corruption, social inequality, and the influence of authoritarian regimes persist. Strengthening democratic institutions, promoting civic engagement, and protecting human rights are ongoing priorities to ensure that democracy functions effectively in the Americas.
