That depends on what you consider &quot;working&quot;. I would certainly consider most modern democracies to work, some slightly better than others. Certainly all modern democracies are stable and not threatened with catastrophic failure.<p>The democracy in the Weimar Republic didn&#x27;t work by any reasonable definition because it was horribly designed. If the Nazis hadn&#x27;t happened, someone else would&#x27;ve almost cetainly destroyed it sooner rather than later.
