What are the two rights most essential to a democracy?

Equality and Freedom

The correct answer is Option 2- Equality and Freedom

Equality and freedom (or liberty) are the two rights that are most essential to a democracy.

RIGHT TO FREEDOM:

Equality and freedom or liberty, are the two rights that are most essential to a democracy. It is not possible to think of the one without thinking of the other. Liberty means freedom of thought, expression and action. However it does not mean freedom to do anything that one desires or likes. If that were to be permitted then a large number of people will not be able to enjoy their freedom. Therefore, freedoms are defined in such a manner that every person will enjoy her freedom without threatening freedom of others and without endangering the law and order situation.
