B. (Establishing purpose for Trivia: “"Democracy is a rule of the people, for the people and by the
the Lesson) (5 min) people”.

Abraham Lincoln

What can you say with this quotation?

Expected answer:
… The words “for the people, by the people, and of the people”
are from Lincoln’s Gettyburg Address, delivered on November
19, 1863. He was not describing democracy per se, but instead
was invoking God’s blessing that the nation should be
preserved.

Of the People means the government is comprised of people

from the different social and economic strata; By the people
means the leaders were chosen at large by people through a fair
election; and For the people means that the sole purpose of
government is to act in ways that benefit its constituencies.

word/s, while their groupmates belonging to online

Definition: Six Fundamental Elements of Modern Democracy

1. Rule of Law – ensures that the rights of freedom of
citizens are protected and no one is above the law. All
citizens stand as equals in the eye of the law.
2. Separation of Powers – check and balances. Powers are
distributed among the executive, legislative and the
judiciary.
3. Basic Rights and freedom:
a. Human rights – a right that is believed to belong
justifiably to every people (ex. right to life, rights to
be secured in one’s person and right to live freely).
b. Civil rights – rights to own a property, rights to enjoy
privileges accorded to being a citizen of a country.
c. Political rights – rights that protect individual’s
freedom from infringement by government, social
institutions, and private individual. (ex. Right to run
for elective office, right to suffrage).
4. Suffrage – civil and political right. Every citizen, within
the recognized legal age, has the right to participate in
the elections by casting a vote regardless of sex, religion,
political affiliation, educational attainment and socio-
economic status. They are entitled to one vote.
5. Freedom of Speech – ensures that the citizens can voice
out their agreement, disagreement, affirmations,
criticism, and proposal to their government.
6. Pluralism – people are entitled to diverse beliefs and
opinions, which may result in the becoming part of
different organizations with varying thrust and
advocacies (ex. In government – administration vs.
opposition).
