Which is a principle of political democracy that underpins universal suffrage and political equality?
One man, one vote One man, one vote (or one person, one vote) is a principle of political democracy that underpins universal suffrage and political equality. During the 20th-century period of decolonisation and the struggles for national sovereignty, from the late 1940s onwards this phrase became widely used in developing countries where majority populations sought to gain political power in proportion to their numbers.
Civic education in the United States The promotion of democratic values has been an important concern for policy-makers - to impact people´s political perceptions, to encourage political participation, and to foster the principles enshrined in the Constitution (e.g. liberty, freedom of speech, civil rights). The subject of “Civics” has been integrated into the Curriculum and Content Standards, to enhance the comprehension of democratic values in the educational system. Civic literature has found that “engaging young children in civic activities from an early age is a positive predictor of their participation in later civic life”.
