A democratic system gives people the right to choose their own leaders throught regular elections. " By People, For People, Of People" is the main concept of popular democracy. What's more, a democratic system has a written Constitution, except United Kingdom of England, which guarantees certain rights of the people and establishes a code of laws in which even the ruling elite must to abide by.
The basic requirement of a good government are political pluralism, judicial independence, equality before the law, civil liberties and human rights. A government can not wield its power arbitrarily without complying with the law of the country, keep itself clean and free from corruption, most importantly protect every citizen from crime and injustice.
The government should seek to reach out to the people and understand their needs and problems. Generally speaking, a good government is not the ruler but a good servant.
