"民主是值得为之而死的，因为它是人类所设计的最崇高的政府形式。"
— Ronald Reagan
Simplified Meaning:
Democracy is considered precious because it respects and values each person's voice. In a democracy, everyone gets a chance to vote and have a say in how the country is run. This is different from other forms of government where power may be in the hands of one ruler or a small group. For example, think about a classroom where all students get to vote on the next fun activity. This is much more fair than if only the teacher decided. Everyone feels included and values the collective decision more because they had a part in making it. Many people have fought and even given their lives to protect the right to live in a democracy because it stands for freedom and equality. By appreciating and participating in democratic processes—like voting, voicing opinions, and respecting others’ views—we help keep this honorable system strong and fair for everyone.
