Abstract :Modem democracy, which may be idenlificd with popular sovereignty, majority rule, constitulional libcrtics, participation in decision-making at ali levels, egalitarianism, proteetion of minorities and much else, is a complicated package. No matter how composite it may look, however, democracy is incompatible with terrorism.1 Fascist parties excluded, most political groupings and governments have scldom failcd to claim a dcmocratic legitimacy. Democracy, vvhich seems to promisc a form of government based on the harmony betvveen the rulers and the ruled, is irresistible, at least as a slogan. It is conceivable, hovvever, only vvhen scctional as vvell as public interests are acknovvledged and organized for political aetion. Another assumption is that no state is seriously dcmocratic unless opposition is permitted to organize and participatc in the contest for povver.
