CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY

Constitutional democracy is a government of the people, by the people and for the people which is based on the supremacy of the constitution. It can also be explained as a democratic system in which the will of the people prevail, their fundamental human rights recognized and protected, and the principle of rule of law strictly adhered to. It is a form of democracy founded, operated and controlled by the provisions of the constitution.

TYPES OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY

• DIRECT DEMOCRACY

This is also known as classical democracy. It is a form of democracy in which all adult citizens take active part in the management and political running of the state. This type of democracy was practiced in Athens, the ancient city of Greece.

• INDIRECT DEMOCRACY

This is also called representative democracy. This form of democracy is built on the principle of majority rule because it allows a few elected representatives to make decisions and formulate policies on behalf of the people. In other words, a representative democracy is a type of democracy in which registered and qualified electorates vote during election to determine who will represent their interest in government.

Representative government becomes important and replaces direct democracy as a result of the complexity in the structure and system of the modern state or society which has made the direct form of democracy in-appropriate and ineffective. Virtually all states in the world practicing democracy today operates a representative democracy.

• What is constitutional democracy?
• Explain indirect democracy.

FEATURES OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY

• POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY

In a constitutional democracy, the people possess the final political authority in making decisions that relate to public issues. They also have the power to remove any of their representatives that fails to represent their interest in government by not voting for such candidates in subsequent elections. Thus, the citizens’ opinions should be respected in a true democracy.

• MAJORITY RULE

Democracy is a game of number , the candidate who enjoys popular acceptance by getting the highest vote usually wins election. The principle of majority rule further explains that government decisions must reflect popular interests and opinion of the people.

• MINORITY RIGHT

In a true democracy, majority have their way and minority have their say. The interest and opinion of the people who are in the minority group is usually unpopular and as a result they tend to be intimidated. However, constitutional democracy ensures that the minority interest is protected and their opinion listened to. It also ensures that everybody in the state enjoys their fundamental human rights as provided by the constitution.

• RULE OF LAW

Constitutional democracy operates with the principle of rule of law which states that everybody is equal before the law and that the law of a state is supreme.

• PERIODIC ELECTION

Constitutional democracy is characterized by a regular and periodic election. This election must be free and fair, and the electoral body must be allowed to operate independently without interference.

• EQUAL ACCESS TO POLICAL OPPORTUNITIES

In constitutional democracy, everybody has equal rights to vote and contest during election. The voting during election must be one man, one vote. Also, sex and socio- economic status should not be used as a means of political discrimination.

• INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY

The judiciary in a constitutional democracy operates as an independent body which is free from the influence of the executive and legislative arms of government.

• What is democracy?
• State the features of constitutional democracy.
• Define constitutional democracy.
• Explain the features of constitutional democracy
• Give four advantage s of this system of government.
• Mention five causes of cultism.
• How can the problem of cultism be solved?

Fundamentals of Civic Education for Senior Secondary Schools Book 3, Sola Akinyemi.Pg. 89.

• Democracy means ___ (a) rule by the rich people (b) rule by a few people (c) rule by the people
• State the types of constitutional democracy.
• Explain four features of constitutional democracy.

ADVANTAGES OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY

• IT ALLOWS FOR PEACEFUL CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT

In a constitutional democracy, elections are conducted within a regular interval as stipulated by the constitution and this makes it easy to change a government.

• IT ALLOWS THE PEOPLE TO CHOOSE THEIR LEADERS

Democracy gives people the opportunity of voting during elections for candidates of their choice. The candidate with the highest vote wins the election and form government.

• IT PROTECTS THE FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS OF PEOPLE

There are certain rights or benefits endowed naturally on every individual as citizens of a state, these rights could be economic rights, social rights and political rights. These rights are popularly called fundamental human rights and it is the function of every government to recognize and protect these rights. Constitutional democracy ensures that people enjoy their rights to the maximum.

• IT PROMOTES POPULAR PARTICIPATION

Constitutional democracy encourages peoples’ participation in government through voting and contesting for political post during election. Popular participation also involves peaceful protest or demonstration, criticism of government policy and joining or forming political parties.

• IT PROMOTES GOOD GOVERNANCE

Since elected leaders know that they can easily be voted out of office once they lose popular acceptance or legitimacy, effort is mad by the government to promote the interest of the people who elected them into office by delivering the dividends of democracy. Therefore, government in a constitutional democracy is accountable to the people.

• IT PROMOTES DEVELOPMENT

In a situation where there is free and fair election, good governance is enhanced and those in government feel a sense of responsibility to the electorates who voted them into power. This therefore brings about socio- economic development in the country and improved standard of living.

• Explain the advantage s of constitutional democracy.

DISADVANTAGES OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY

Even though democracy is believed to be the best form of government, it has some dis advantage s which are as follows:

• IT IS EXPENSIVE TO RUN

A democratic system of government requires periodic election which is very expensive to organize and conduct because it involves registering of voters, provision of electoral materials, recruitment of electoral officials etc.

• DELAY IN POLICY MAKING

In a democratic system of government, there are due process to be followed before policies can be made. At times, it can take the legislative arm of government several month s before they pass bills into law and this may not be good for situations or issues that requires urgent attention or for emergency periods.

• MINORITY CANNOT HAVE THEIR WAY IN A DEMOCRACY

It does not matter how brilliant the idea and opinion of the minority is, they can only have their say in a democracy they cannot have their way. This is because democracy is a game of number s where majority have their way and minority only have their say. Therefore, many quality policies have been swept under the carpet because they originated from the minority group and did not gain popular support and acceptance.

• INABILITY OF THE ELECTORATE TO REMOVE A BAD GOVERNMENT UNTIL ELECTION PERIOD

The electorates may vote a person into power and later discover that he or she is a bad leader. When such situations occur, the electorates can only wait till the next election and then vote the person out of office. Thus, some political leaders take advantage of this to do whatever they like knowing that there is nothing the people can do or the worst they can do is not to be re-elected into office. Hence, they use their period in office to exploit the country’s wealth and resources for their selfish interest.

HUMANTRAFFICKING

Human trafficking is the recruiting, transporting, receiving and harboring of people in exchange for money.

People who are most vulnerable to human trafficking are women and children and they are subjected into forced labour, slavery, servitude and prostitution. The people who engaged in human trafficking business are called human traffickers.

Human trafficking is a violation of human rights and the traffickers use their wealth and power to deceive and force the poor, less privileged, ignorant and vulnerable people in the society into all kinds of human exploitation that violates the fundamental human rights of the people involved.

Human trafficking could be done domestically or at the international level . Most international trafficking activities are targeted towards taking young ladies abroad through illegal means for the purpose of forcing them into prostitution.

Domestic trafficking is targeted towards bringing young boys and girls into cities for force labour as house helps. It is important to know that human trafficking is both a domestic and international crime.

CAUSES OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Poverty is a state of being poor or lack of basic necessities of live. Poverty can make people vulnerable to human trafficking and child labour. Parents may give up their children to be taken to cities and work as house helps. Some parents may even sell their children totally into slavery while others go to cities or travel abroad to engage in prostitution in order to make money.

People who are not contented with what they have or those who want to accumulate fast wealth may find themselves engaged in human trafficking.

• LOW SELF-ESTEEM

Some people due to low self-esteem or loss of sense of worth and self confidence may fall victim of human traffickers who will promise to help them but what they actually do is to exploit them.

Human traffickers bribe government officials with money and material things so that they can continue to carry out their business without being caught or hindered by government agencies.

Vulnerable members in the society can easily be deceived by human traffickers who will promise them greener pastures and better lifestyles in the cities or abroad and because everybody wants a better and improved life, they innocently follow these traffickers only to discover that their intention was to exploit and use them to make money. Some of these people may even be forced to take oaths not to disclose their secret or try to escape.

During prolonged war, children are forced to join the army and are trained to carry guns and ammunitions. Although this may not be done for money, it is also a form of human trafficking e.g during the second world war, some Africans were trafficked to Europe so as to fight in the war.

• Define human trafficking.
• State the causes of human trafficking.

EFFECTS AND CONSEQUENCES OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

People who are being trafficked are subjected to all form of physical abuse such as rape, beating and torture. Children used as house help are often time beaten and the female ones are raped and sometimes starved of food and other basic needs of life. This affects the psychological growth of such children.

Human trafficking leads to abuse of fundamental human rights because they are often denied their right to free thought, conscience and decision.

Children who are trafficked and forced into child labour are usually denied their right to education in order to become useful to themselves in the future.

Girls who engage in prostitute are prone to being infected with sexually transmitted diseases such as syphyilis, gonorrhea and HIV/AIDS. These diseases are capable of cutting their lives short and can reduce their productive contribution to the society and increase medical expenses.

Victims of human trafficking are mostly faced with unprotected sex which could result into unwanted pregnancies. Some of these girls when they give birth will throw the child away or abandon the child with their parents without adequate care.

People who are trafficked are usually stigmatized especially when they are deported back to the country from abroad.

Some children who are used as house helps are violently beaten to death while some die of ill health because they are not properly taken care of.
