Overview
About this Lesson
What is democracy and how does it function in the UK? This lesson has been created to explore that question and is divided into two parts. Part one provides students with an opportunity to explore and deepen their understanding of the concept of democracy and equips them with a framework to assess the health of a democracy. Part two then explores the strengths and weaknesses of the UK’s parliamentary democracy.
