What was Eleanor Roosevelt's core belief about democracy?
My central belief is that democracy is not merely a system of government, but a way of life that must be lived every day, in our homes and in our communities. In 'The Moral Basis of Democracy,' I explored how true democratic practice requires active participation, empathy, and a constant striving for justice. It's about recognizing the inherent worth of every individual and ensuring that opportunities are available to all. We must constantly work to strengthen the moral fiber of our society, for it is there that democracy truly takes root and flourishes. We cannot be passive observers.
