Name: Is democracy a fair system?
Uploaded: 2026-10-25
Duration: 24 s
Description: Democracy gives every voice the same weight, so no one is ruled without a say. But majorities can be strange. Three voters, three options: two prefer A to B, two prefer B to C, and two prefer C to A. The majority goes round in a circle. Democracy isn't perfectly fair, but it lets people change course without violence.
