To begin with, government make laws base on the constitution of a country. In a free
society before laws are made,legislation are examine by those who are in agreement
and those opposing. In this case everyone has a say, so it is very difficult for any
leader to take advantage of the system. Further more, individuals feel safe and
valuable in a free country when they are allow to express their feelings by voting
during general elections,and even when making community decisions. Trying to
remove or reduce this democratic right can cause protest and even riots. Take for
instance the series of riots that took place in the caribbean during the mid 1900, was
mainly due to the fact that some official leaders were trying to abuse the system in
order to introduce communism. This lead to long term negative economic growth as
international trade seized through out the period.
On the the other hand, some people argues that if critical decisions are to be made
base on how everyone feels, the country will remain stagnant to change because we
cannot please everyone at the same time. They argues further by stating that only
some social changes should include the population opinion for instance health and
education, where as matters of national security should always remain unclassified.
In short, despite the fact that people in free societies have difference in opinion, it is
the duty of policy makers to keep the people informed and up to date when making
decisions on their behalf. There is no justification for doing otherwise because
freedom starts with a voice.
Demokrasi didasarkan pada hak orang untuk mengekspresikan pandangan mereka.
Kebebasan berbicara adalah hak asasi manusia yang mendasar dalam semua
masyarakat bebas, sangat penting dalam pengambilan keputusan dari parlemen ke
tingkat masyarakat. Ketika hak asasi manusia yang mendasar ini diancam, orang
menjadi sangat emosional dan akan melakukan apa saja untuk melindunginya. Hal
ini dapat menyebabkan keresahan sosial dan sebagai alternatif memiliki efek negatif
pada ekonomi. Beberapa orang berpendapat bahwa kebebasan berbicara
seharusnya hanya diperbolehkan sampai batas tertentu. Dalam pandangan saya
agar suatu bangsa dianggap bebas, warga negaranya harus dapat mengatakan
bagaimana perasaan mereka.
Di sisi lain, beberapa orang berpendapat bahwa jika keputusan kritis dibuat
berdasarkan pada perasaan semua orang, negara akan tetap stagnan untuk
berubah karena kita tidak dapat menyenangkan semua orang pada saat yang
bersamaan. Mereka berargumen lebih lanjut dengan menyatakan bahwa hanya
beberapa perubahan sosial yang harus memasukkan pendapat populasi seperti
kesehatan dan pendidikan, di mana masalah keamanan nasional harus selalu tetap
tidak terklasifikasi.
