Political Institutions (e.g. Constitutions, Legal Systems, Electoral Systems)

Author: 

I would like to adress this article to everyone especially to those who are in the government who rules, the terrorists who plans to destroy a peacefulcountry and politicians who seemed so good when they need help from you during elections. This is not a black propaganda which could ruin your reputation and status in the society. I just want to you to hear what everyone has been trying to say which you fail to hear and give solutions. I want you to feel thier sentiments. I wish you would also realize how hard for them to live without having much hope if they could survive to any crisis.

It contributes to democratization by bringing the government ‘closer to the people’, imparting the citizens with political knowledge through their participation in local management, and making the government more accountable.
