Detailed Solution

The foundational challenge of democracy includes keeping the military away from controlling government, bringing down the non-democratic regime, and establishing a sovereign and functional state.
The foundational challenges to democracy include-
1)      Bringing down non-democratic regimes- the first challenge is to replace non-democratic authorities with democratic powers. Dictators and monarchs are hesitant toward democracy as it will take away their monopoly on power.
2)      Establishing a sovereign and functional state- It is difficult for a newly independent country or an underdeveloped state to maintain its sovereignty which means freedom to decide for itself and set up a functional state. Many countries face very complex regional, communal or ethnic challenges.
3)      Keeping the military away from controlling the government- many countries such as Pakistan and Myanmar have faced military interference in the working of the government. Many times these countries also face military coups. It has remained a constant challenge to a democratic government.
