Clues

  • a general vote to the electorate on a single political issue referred to them for a direct decision (10)
  • an addition to democracy that ensures civil liberties and rights are respected and protected - a strong constitution limits the powers of government (7, 9)
  • implies the enjoyment of civil liberties (freedom - of expression, movement, thought) and also carries certain duties and obligations (to pay taxes, abide the law, possibly defend your country) (11)
  • in democracy, legitimacy is conferred by election - it could be argued that British government lacks legitimacy because it is elected on a minority of the national vote (10, 10)
  • multiple parties and political associations are allowed to operate, meaning different political beliefs are tolerated - power is dispersed among different individuals, bodies and institutions (9, 9)
  • people themselves make decisions and are directly consulted on political decisions (referendums) (6, 9)
  • system of government where people have access to independent information and are able to influence government policy - also implies government are accountable to the people (9)
  • the right to govern and make laws, which will be enforced and obeyed by the people - normally conferred by election (10)
