Summary/Abstract: The problem of democracy arises from problems in implementation. In order for democracy to be functional during implementation, the people must have political and cultural awareness. Democracy can be implemented in societies with high levels of education. However, it is impossible to implement democratic understanding smoothly in societies with low education levels. The biggest problem of democracy is that the people are not able to directly participate in government. Instead, they participate in management through representatives. And in this case, the obligation for these representatives to represent the whole society occurs, since these representatives have to use all the powers given to them by the people. The other problem of democracy is excessive liberty in which case people may violate the freedom of others, which causes conflict in society. In this research, these aforementioned critical problems were handled in order to obtain a clear understanding of the issue.
