Stable democratic regimes are characterized by several key elements: regular, free, and fair elections; respect for the rule of law; separation of powers; and protection of civil rights. These features promote political stability by facilitating peaceful transitions of power and encouraging citizen participation. Additionally, a vibrant civil society and independent media are crucial for holding leaders accountable and fostering public discourse. Stability is also reflected in the government’s ability to respond to crises effectively while maintaining legitimacy in the eyes of the electorate.
