The implications of public trust on democratic resilience are profound. High levels of trust enhance citizen engagement and the legitimacy of institutions, fostering cooperation and stability. Conversely, a lack of trust can lead to political apathy, reduced participation, and increased populism, undermining democratic structures. Moreover, diminishing trust may provoke civil unrest and challenge the government's capacity to enact necessary reforms. Therefore, maintaining and rebuilding public trust is essential for the survival and adaptability of democratic systems in the face of changing social and political landscapes.
