International Journal of Technology Policy and Law (IJTPL), Vol. 3, No. 3, 2024

Abstract: The concept of 'digital democracy' is crucial for comprehending the interaction between collective self-government and mediating digital infrastructures in modern society. On the one hand, policymakers want to use technology to legitimise the public sector, reawaken individuals' interest in politics, and fight civic apathy. On the other hand, academics warn that the danger is that the foundation of democracy itself may be destroyed if the digitalisation of democracy is left unchallenged. In the present paper, the authors provide a conceptual study of digital democracy and its relationship with the right to privacy, digital dictatorship, digital constitutionalism, and digital sovereignty. Governments' laws must conform to the constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. Thus, in such circumstances, judicial review acts as a check on the power of the legislature and ensures constitutionalism in the state.
