"私たちの民主主義は、それが人類によって考案された最も名誉ある政府の形態であるため、戦う価値があり、命を懸ける価値があります。"
— Kamala Harris
Simplified Meaning:
Democracy is a system where everyone has a say in how the country is run. It values each person's voice and protects their rights. Just like in a family where everyone gets to share their ideas and make decisions together, in a democracy, citizens vote and have a part in shaping laws and policies. This makes it fair and just, compared to other systems where only a few people hold all the power. Because of the fairness and respect it upholds, people believe it is worth defending, even with their lives if necessary. For example, many people fought for the right to vote or against unjust rulers to keep their countries democratic. In everyday life, showing respect for voting and participating in community decisions upholds the values of democracy.
