Accepting as true
Believing in something means having faith or confidence in it.
You can believe in a person's abilities I believe in you, in abstract principles believing in justice, or in existence believing in ghosts.
The phrase implies commitment beyond mere acknowledgment—to believe in democracy is to value it, not just recognize it exists.
