Democracy

Democracy is a form of government. The word democracy means rule by the people. Abraham Lincoln described such self-government as government of the people, by the people, for the people. The citizens of a democracy take part in government either directly or indirectly. In a direct, or pure democracy, the people meet in one place to make the laws for their community.
Most Modern democracy is representative democracy. In large communities -cities,states,provinces, or countries- it is impossible for all the people to meet as a group. Instead, they elect certain number of their fellow citizens to represent them in making decisions about laws and other matters that affect the people. An assembly of representatives may be called a council, a legislature, a parliament, or a congress. Government by the people through their freely elected representatives is sometimes called republican government. The democratic way of life recognizes the equality and dignity of all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, or social standing. It holds that everyone is equal in court trials and other legal matters. It provides freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. Almost all governments claim to be democratic, but many are actually totalitarian. Totalitarian governments have almost complete control over lives of the people.
