Is modern democracy really "the will of the people"?
I think that modern democracy was achieved by the will of the people.
Because of Japan's colonial rule, Koreans were unable to exercise their freedom and rights as sovereigns for 35 years. Democracy in the Republic of Korea started in an imperfect state, with the continuing struggle for violence and the violation of basic rights and freedom of the people in the process. After the March 1 Independence Movement, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea chose the Democratic Republic as the basis. On May 10, 1948, for the first time in the history of the Korean Peninsula, a general election was held where the people exercised their sovereignty. But then the authoritarian regime reappeared. The 4.19 revolution, which was intended to topple authority, has a big meaning for the nation. After the revolution, no power in our country can deny free democracy. The political meaning of the April 19 revolution was a great foundation for establishing a sense of free democracy and the sovereignty of the people.
I think democracy in this country would not have been possible without the people's desire, expression, struggle, and vote.
