Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to bring some conceptual clarifications regarding the connection that exists between democracy, education and well-being, a connection that is not at all apparent, but which structures in the depths of society the way of life and well-being of a people. In today's society, freedom is not lacking, but free people are missing. People for whom freedom is assumed, understood and respected; represents the supreme social model. Democracy emphasizes more than the freedom, the spiritual and material standard of a people. Democracy radiographs are eloquent indicators of mental and material well-being. They reveal the level of civic culture and the quality of public service. Not every power resulting from the people means democracy, but only that which does not impose arbitrary laws, which presupposes a minimum of freedom of thought and opinion. By the rule of law we mean all the principles and procedures that guarantee the freedom of the individual and his participation in political life.In my opinion, the only realistic and sustainable way to maintain and promote a democratic political regime and a liberal economic regime, i.e. a liberal democracy, is the way to educate citizens and especially specialists from the state apparatus and universities in terms of understanding the mechanisms of operation of democracy as well as regarding the shortcomings and shortcomings of a democratic system.
