전자민주주의의 도래와 직접민주주의의 도입의 검토

The advent of E-Democray and A Study on the introduction of direct Democracy

I was greatly shocked when I heard E-Democracy Over 50 years ago, we, koreans, started democracy but our political condition is not up to our first Ideal That means dictatorship or quasi-democracy, in this reason, I decided to study E-Democracy to be a little help to korean democracy IN korean constitutional law, Article I, clause I has it that Korea is democratic republic, and Article I, clause 2 has it that Sovereignty rests with the people However the real situation is different. I think that it is our urgent need to replace formal Sovereignty with substantial Sovereignty To realize substantial Sovereignty, We need E-Democracy which will. I believe, satisfy our real political demand The reason why the principle of Sovereignty became formal. I think mainly, is that we have no effective way to take part in political decision. Namely although citizens want to participate in political decision, they can do so only m election and an opinion poll etc, not through direct Democracy. only through these rare chance, citizens cannot become ideal citizens So ultimately Democracy cannot be completed In this reason, direct Democracy is essential in completing Democracy. Existing theanes treat principle of Sovereignty. and representative system and direct Democracy separately. but principle of Sovereignty is closely connected with representative system and direct Democracy because whether principle of Sovereignty is formal or active. functional and substantial. can be defined by how much representative system and direct Democracy are partitioned. My assertion is that semi-directory system is the best political system because representative system and direct Democracy are not perfect Itself Specially, In this thesis, I treat direct Democracy not because direct Democracy can replace representative system, but because direct Democracy can make up for the defect of representative system. The main reason why direct Democracy can not be practiced is not only ideological. hegemonic problem but also we have no efficient way to practice direct Democracy In this point, E-Democracy is most needed to practice direct Democracy. Specially E-Democracy provides e-vote and space for debate on which direct Democracy IS based. In addition, mature people' will to take part In politlcal decision, makes direct Democracy practicable Through all changes, we can challenge bloodless revolution and achieve the purpose of substantial Democracy
