Abstract

Western civilization, especially modernity, bequeathed to contemporary society the democratic regime, which today is threatened by the emergence of authoritarianism and populism in several countries such as Russia, Turkey and Brazil. In view of this national and international context, this article pursued the objective of examining some of the theoretical and historical contributions to the formation of modern democracy. Thus, some political conceptions of the main modern political thinkers were investigated in bibliographic research. It also highlighted the analysis of democratic principles and values, as well as historical events that convert, even if partially, some of the democratic ideals, such as the Glorious Revolution, the Independence of the United States and the French Revolution. We started from the working hypothesis that modern democracy, even if shaken, keeps principles and values â€‹â€‹that still have the potential to last, even if renewed in the 21st century.
