Abstract

Systems are comprised of institutions and institutions are comprised of structures. To explain a model for system
making, one is first required to study institutions and their underlying structures. Any definition for democracy
includes two basic concepts i.e. "participation" and "competition". "The constitution" as an institution, has
reserved numerous principles to secure democracy and people's ruling. "Political participation" with reference to
"agreed upon methodology for the evaluation of democracy" has been implemented in this article.
However, this article believes that "elements promoting political competition" and "structured panocracy" are
challenges faced by this model.
