Answer and explanation:
Democracy is the state in which individuals of a community make decisions collectively being the interest of most people prioritized. A pure form of democracy is difficult to find even in countries that highly promote equal rights such as the United States.
The Democracy Index is a composite that measures democracies in 167 countries scoring them from 1 to 10 (10 is the highest grade). In 2019, The U.S. was positioned in the 25th place in the list of most democratic countries. Norway is placed in the first place followed by Iceland.
In such a case, we should recommend our friend to take a look at the Democracy Index where he or she will find out that the U.S. is not one of the fairest nations in the world. Its government functioning and political participation are aspects where the U.S. needs improvement.
