THE ROLE OF THE PARTY IN THE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM AND ITS IMPACT ON RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of political parties in a democratic system and the process of ensuring the rights and freedoms of citizens through them. In democratic systems, parties are an important component of political life, which contribute to the formation of civil society by representing the interests of the people, ensuring competition in elections, and influencing state governance. The article also examines the positive and negative aspects of political parties. On the one hand, parties serve as a means of protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens, making the voices of different social strata of society heard, and developing political pluralism. On the other hand, it is considered that in some cases, parties can abuse their powers, show a tendency to authoritarianism, and create the risk of corruption and political manipulation.
The article highlights the role of parties in the implementation of citizens' rights, including the right to vote, freedom of speech, and other democratic values. In addition, analytical conclusions are presented on the cases of restriction of freedoms, censorship and intensification of social tensions in society by some parties.
The article reveals that the role of parties in the democratic system is two-sided, that is, they serve to strengthen democratic values, but can also lead to negative consequences. Based on these conclusions, the importance of effective management of the activities of parties through transparency, legitimacy and reforms is emphasized.
