DEMOCRACY in ASGARDIA
I live in Athens, Greece where Democracy has been born 2.500 years ago.
My vision is to bring pure democracy into Asgardia, in order to ensure equal rights for every citizen.
The Athenian Democracy was founded upon the core values of freedom and equality. Freedom of speech, equality in education, health, elected and with an equal opportunities political system. It was these fundamental principles that created the necessary environment for civilization to flourish and great artifacts and monuments to be built.
But, what is the real meaning of Democracy?
Democracy (Greek: δημοκρατία dēmokratía, literally "rule of the people"), in modern usage, is a system of government in which the citizens exercise power directly or elect representatives from among themselves to form a governing body, such as a parliament.
Democracy consists of four key elements:
A political system for choosing and replacing the government through free and fair elections
The active participation of the people, as citizens, in politics and civic life
Protection of the human rights of all citizens, and
A rule of law, in which the laws and procedures apply equally to all citizens.
