DEMOCRACY

Democracy is a form of government that all citizens have equal rights in decision-making that can change their lives. Democracy allow citizens to participate either directly or through representatives in the formulation, development, and manufacture of the law. Democracy includes social, economic, and cultural practices that allow for political freedom freely and equally.

This word comes from the Greek δημοκρατία (dēmokratía) "people's power", [1] which is formed from δῆμος (Demos) "people" and κράτος (kratos) "strength" or "power" in the 5th century BC to refer to the political system Greek city-states, one of which Athens; This word is the antonym of ἀριστοκρατία (aristocratie) "power elite". Theoretically, the two definitions are mutually contradictory, but in fact is no longer clear. [2] The political system of Classical Athens, for example, provide democratic citizenship to the elite men are free and do not include slaves and women in political participation. In all democratic governments throughout the history of ancient and modern, democratic citizenship elite remains occupied until all of the adult population in most of the modern democratic state totally free after a struggle for voting rights movement in the 19th century and 20. The word democracy (democracy) itself already existed since the 16th century and comes from French Medieval and Medieval Latin longer.

A democratic government is different from the form of government whose power is held by one person, such as the monarchy, or a small group, such as the oligarchs. Whatever it is, the differences derived from the Greek philosophy [3] now appears ambiguous because some contemporary governance mix up elements of democracy, oligarchy, and monarchy. Karl Popper defines democracy as something different from dictatorship or tyranny, so as to focus on the opportunity for people to control their leaders and overthrow them without needing to make a revolution. [4]

There are several types of democracy, but there are only two basic forms. Both explain how all the people running desires. The first form of democracy is direct democracy, namely that all citizens participate directly and actively in government decision making. In most modern democracies, all the people still constitute a sovereign power but political power is executed indirectly through representatives; This is called representative democracy. The concept of representative democracy emerged from the ideas and institutions that developed in the Middle Ages of Europe, the Age of Enlightenment and the French Revolution and the United States.
