Liberians: A Need To Edit Our Democracy—Obey The Conditions Favourable To The Triumph Of Our Democracy
14.01.2018 LISTEN

Savvy men and Critical Thinkers at the Samuel Benedict Constitutional Convention of 1847 in Liberia, hopefully accepted that democracy would prospered in Liberia as it has as of now create in the considerations of savants of the 18thCe to show up as an answer for the majority of man's social issues.

It was fitting and legitimate that those grower of the seed of democracy proclaimed standards and yearnings were gathered and archived by Orator Hilary Teage in the Declaration of Independence.

Relevant to those standards and goals stood the plan to convey democracy down to the level of the general population regular day to day existence by being systematized. That is, building up workable administrative component with a specific end goal to pass on considerations of applicable democratic hypotheses seriously and successfully. Endeavor made by the cultivators of our democracy should be moved up to the period of innovation by the present age with the goal that posterity could be securely guided.

Today we have refined that it is sufficiently simple to plant a seed of democracy in any soil, however that the seed isn't probably going to flourish and become unless the soil is rich. We have discovered that there are sure natural factors that are helpful for an effective democracy and in the event that they are obeyed we Liberians could thrive with a refine democracy.

THE PEOPLE MUST BE EDUCATED – supposedly, democracy since time in commemoration has put upon the subjects of a nation the weight of understanding the certainties relating to social issues, of assessing the contentions for elective game-plans, and of deciding the course to be taken in the assault upon these issues. Significant instructive preparing and experience are important if this weight is to be effectively conveyed. For over 10 years Liberia has put dead wholes of cash in the training of its natives.

However, the absence of education of the general population has crested its ideal! The capacity of our democratic establishments will be measure on the off chance that they adapt effectively to the perpetually complex issues of present day life. This must be accomplished when there is a substantial sense of duty regarding state funded training - the articulating of free and obligatory education from primary to tertiary since it is the sole duty of government to teach it natives.

Individuals MUST BE ABLE TO GET AROUND AND EXCHANGE IDEAS – records have demonstrated that democracy expect a free and finish trade of thoughts and precise data concerning the undertakings of the state. This implies all natives have prepared access to the free commercial center of thought, either as dynamic members in the open deliberation over an issue or as detached audience members to such level headed discussion. Thoughts trade starts the engine of any civilized democracy in understanding the logical inconsistencies and debating answers for the development of democracy.

Individuals MUST HAVE SOME ECONOMIC SECURITY – The historical backdrop of Liberia whispers that endeavors at self-government are best where the mass of the general population appreciates a sensible measure of monetary security. Where the people are poor and the battle for presence expends every one of their energies and hues every one of their considerations, a society do not have that security that makes conceivable the quiet, impartial talk of political issues and applicants which the rationale of democracy calls for. If an extensive number of nationals are without that offer of a country's riches and create that they believe is their due, they are not prone to give the express the devotion that is basic to its prosperity.

They will form into prepared casualties of fanatics and of autocrats. Law based political establishments at that point must have firm financial underpinnings. The Constitution of Liberia says that the Republic should deal with the national economy and common assets in such a way to guarantee most extreme attainable cooperation Liberian residents under state of fairness. Democracy is solidarity not consistency along these lines solidarity produces economy security for all subjects. Then again, consistency is a result of cliquish imperialism and class battle.

Individuals MUST NOT DISAGREE TOO SHARPLY – there must be a significant measure of accord among the tenants of the Liberian culture on the off chance that it is to make effective utilization of fair establishments in overseeing itself. As we have seen, men ought to be allowed to create varying monetary and social interests and to contend for these interests. Be that as it may, democracy must be a tranquil society on the off chance that it is to survive. In the event that men push the barrier of their clashing advantages to extremes, viciousness comes about. Without adequate agreement among the general population, a fair government can't settle human clashes by quiet means.

Unless there is a too much consensus society stops to be democratic. It is never simple to state where the line is to be drawn between the contentions that are an ordinary and fundamental normal for a rich and expanded society of free residents and those contentions of essential standard and material premium that slice so profoundly as to demonstrate the nonattendance of accord in the public eye.

Today there is an essential inquiry whether Liberians could alter and control their democracy. However, the recidivism of the unsophisticated masses and the expanding examples of their refusal to comply with the standards and edify the desires of our ancestors have made the most genuine tear in the consistent web our fair society since the rise of a celeb to the political fray.

In spite of the fact that democracy energizes all residents' support, yet condition to an effective democracy must be appropriately trailed by the PEOPLE for it is POWER that is INHERENT IN THE PEOPLE.
