Document Summary
Necessary and sufficient conditions-basic formal logic helps us understand why certain countries are democracies. One argument is that some countries become democratic becaue they have a suitable culture while others do not, another argument is that it is about economics.

Canadians: showing pu for an exam is the sufficient condition for doing well in the course. If the condition is necessary the effect has to be there: you have to take democracies look at their characteristics and which ones are necessary to be democratic. We identify on countries that are democracies, analyze what they have in common and the effect based on this.
