Liberal Democracy and Islamic Political System.

      Аннотация: Liberal Democracy, also known as constitutional democracy, is a common form of representative democracy in which elected representatives who hold power are limited by a constitution that emphasizes protecting individual liberties, equality and the rights of minority groups. Among the many liberties that might be protected are freedom of speech and assembly, freedom of religion, the right to private property and privacy as well as equality before the law and due process under the rule of law. Such constitutional rights, also call liberal rights, are guaranteed through various controlled institutions and statutory laws. Additionally, the constitutions of most contemporary liberal democracies prohibit majoritarianism, which is rule by the will of majority, when it harms those in the minority. Among the most important main elements of liberal democracy in the West, as many modern commentators and political theorists are: Popular Sovereignty, Civil Liberties, Majority Rule, Elected Representatives, Separation of Powers, Political Participation, Competitive Elections and Political Party system and Interest Groups.
