| Democracy means rule by the people.
Introduced to the world by the ancient Greeks, it is derived from
the Greek words "demos", meaning people, and "kratos",
meaning rule. Democracy is the form of government in which sovereignty,
or power, is vested in the people and political authority is derived
from the people through the popular vote. Democracy is thus
the system which allows the people to |
| change their rulers in a peaceful manner and in
which the govern-ment is given the right to rule because the people
say it may. |
