Quote of the day by Eleanor Roosevelt: “I believe that democracy is based on the ability to make democracy serve the good of the majority of the people. If it can’t do that, then it should not survive.”

People often say that democracy is a system in which they can choose their leaders and decide what happens in their country. People all over the world agree with it because it promises fairness, representation, and participation. But the real power of democracy goes beyond just voting and making governments. The real worth of it is how well it makes life better for regular people. A strong quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, a famous person for her work in public service and human rights, makes this idea clear. Her words remind us that democracy needs to work for most people. If it doesn't, it might lose its meaning. Her message is still important today as societies look at whether their systems really help people.
