Saudi Arabia historically was a special place in the Islamic World, as the birthplace of Islam and prophets. Their religion is Islam and the Sunnis are counting as majority of its citizens. This country has monarchial regime that the citizen must obey the rules and laws of the king, and I prefer liberal democratic model for Saudi Arabia which mostly refers to the constitutional democracy.

In conclusion, the supremacy of governing the country is based on the constitution in a liberal democracy that the constitution defines democratic as state of nation. Contrasting with Saudi Arabia system that the King and the governments influences are structured by the Sharia law which has been taken from the Quran and from their traditions, however, in the liberal democracy’s constitutions act as the a regulative bode of the government power. Also the president, its government, and the people have the most important rules and authorities in the constitution of the country and the members of the legislature are selected by the people in a free, fire, and direct election but unlike in Saudi Arabia the King is not elected by the people.
In today’s world, there are several types of governments that control their countries. There are democracies, dictatorships, republics, monarchies etc. Absolute monarchy was a very common form of government centuries ago. Throughout this time period, many leaders, dictators, monarchs made mistakes that the government looks at today. The abuse and misuse of power by absolute monarchs inexorably led to the rise of modern democracy. This is shown through leaders abusing their powers as absolute monarchs, the unreliability of monarchy, and corrupt governments.
The place of women in Saudi society is determined by a deeply conservative culture, vindicated by a narrow interpretation of religion, and enforced by law. That place it would appear is at home, subservient to and legally dependant on their male guardian. Saudi society suffers from pervasive segregation along gender lines and women's freedom of movement is impeded, forcing them to rely on male chaperons.

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...a well-known phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence. This well know phrase by John Locke gives three examples of the "unalienable rights" which the Declaration says have been given to all human beings by their Creator, which governments are created to protect. These words symbolize our individual rights that God gave us and the government is supposed to guard these rights. They are supposed to do this because person is born with these rights. Life is an important right because it is the existence of an individual human being or animal. Liberty is also a big role in our rights because it is freedom or the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by

...gely by religious values: Conservative dress, conservative literature, and conservative behavior. Freedom of political and religious expression is not allowed, and diversions like dancing, or movies, activities are almost nonexistence in Saudi Arabia.

Sen believes that democracy provides political freedom, increases the influence people have on the government, and helps societies form values. All of these things enrich the lives of citizens and increase their quality of life (5). Since democracy increases quality of life people anywhere would have a very good reason to see it as valuable. Therefore, democracy must be considered a universal value. I believe that Amartya Sen's argument is very sound and supported by good examples. I agree with Sen that democracy should be considered a universal value.
Over the last century, the Middle East has been the location of ethnic rivalry, political and economic instability, religious conflict, territorial dispute and war. Much of this tension in the Middle East comes from the various interpretations of Islam and how the religion should be applied to politics and society. Over the last ten years, the United States and their allies have pushed to promote democracy in the Middle East. However, they too have many obstacles they must overcome. They face problems such as the compatibility of Islamic law and democracy, the issue of women’s rights, and there is always the problem of how to go about implementing a democratic reform in these countries. Many initially would assume that it is only the culture of the Middle East that repels them away from a democratic transition. Diamond on the other hand does not believe it is the culture or the religion that stops a democratic reform instead it is the regimes themselves and the region’s distinctive geopolitics. Although democracy may have reached the Middle East, it may be too difficult to completely change that area from authoritarian to democratic.
In addition, democracy maintains the right of choice. These characteristics are the most appealing and dominate because people can formulate decisions based on their cultural, religious, interpersonal, intrapersonal beliefs that outline who...
Nevertheless, to this claim one can question if democracy is to pla secondary to personal liberties or functions as a greater force that establishes individual liberties while also staying true to democratic principles in the process.
However, you need to understand the situation in Saudi Arabia first. The way people drive in Saudi Arabia is insane. I mean, imagine that all cars are not following the traffic laws. You can go as fast as the car goes and you wouldn't be stopped at all. Leading to the deaths of nineteen people every day on the country’s roads.
The right to Life, Liberty, and Security, is one of the most important citizen rights that you can have. With the right to life, it means that any individual has the right to live, and shouldn’t be killed by anyone. With the right to Liberty, it means that we have the right to be free, and do almost anything we want. Lastly, the right to security means that you are guaranteed to be protected the best way possible, while you are in that country. Even though it is just one of many rights, they all fall under the right to freedom. Which everyone just wants the right to do what they want, and to stand up for what they believe in. Everyone should have the right to freedom, as well as the right to life, liberty, and security.We felt that this right was the most important because it summed up the rights that we need as citizens. Like the right to not be enslaved, can count as the right to Life and Liberty. So in our opinion, the right to Life, Liberty, and Security, is the one that should be one of the first applied rights to our lives. The next few paragraphs will describe how we feel on these particular rights, as well as examples of how these rights are being violated all over the world.
