The Democratic Paradox refers to the tension between the principles of democracy and the need for effective governance. In a democratic system, the will of the majority is paramount, yet this can lead to the marginalization of minority groups. This conflict raises questions about how to balance individual rights with collective decision-making. Additionally, the paradox highlights the challenge of ensuring that elected representatives truly reflect the diverse views of their constituents. When political parties, such as the Democratic Party or Republican Party, dominate the landscape, it can result in a lack of genuine representation for all citizens, undermining the core values of democracy.
