The correct answer
- Separations of power, freedom of the press, individual liberties, universal vote
Why
A functioning democracy rests on four essential pillars: separation of powers (which prevents concentration), freedom of the press (which ensures transparency), individual liberties (which protect citizens), and universal suffrage (which guarantees political equality). These four elements form the foundation of any modern democracy.
