Outside of Chat GPT, the Democracy Index by The Economist ranks countries by electoral process, government health, political participation, political culture, and civil liberties, scoring countries from 0 to 10. The index dates back to 2006 and goes up to 2024. The US started with a score of 8.22 in 2006 and got a score of 7.85 in 2024. While the US has experienced a decline in democracy, it's not a sharp one.
