1.Democracy and law are the foundation of an ideal harmonious society where every adult has the right to choose government officials. All citizens are equal before the law and people have equal rights to education and work opportunities. The government can ensure fair competition.
2.People observe discipline and obey laws. There is no theft, no corruption, no robbery, no murder or any other forms of crime. People don?t have to worry about their safety and property anytime or anywhere.
3.People enjoy freedom of speech and religion, and so on. They will not be punished or persecuted by others because they have different views or beliefs.
4.People live a good, peaceful and prosperous life. Everyone has a satisfactory job. They can afford their own houses. They have enough money to travel around the world and enjoy all kinds of entertainments.
