Democracy is a system of rules based upon a government of the people,by the people and for the people.It started in ancient Greece, where the word comes from ‘Demos’— people and ‘Kratic’— power.It only had a short life there but was adopted once again in the eighteenth century and has carried successfully to the present day.Democracy is an important factor of controlling government power and prevents the people who hold power abusing it and using it for their own gain rather than for people’s.This is done in a democratic state by holding elections.In a democratic government people have the right to choose their own representative and can change them in next elections if they are not working according to the wishes of people.
