ABSTRACT
Democracy is not merely a political system but a dynamic framework that institutionalizes the collective will of the people. This project investigates the conceptual and functional pillars of democracy—legislature, executive, judiciary, and media—within the constitutional arena, focusing primarily on India while drawing comparative insights from the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. The Indian Constitution, grounded in the ideals of liberty, equality, and justice, offers a normative and institutional framework ensuring checks and balances. This study explores the roles, challenges, and interdependence of democratic pillars, highlighting the constitutional safeguards and reforms necessary to strengthen democratic governance. Comparative perspectives illustrate that despite differences in political systems, the core principles of accountability, participation, and the rule of law remain universal in sustaining democracy.
