Democracy is the most popular system of government of modem age. The term ‘Democracy’ comes of two Greek roots – ‘Demos’ and ‘Kratos’ or kratia’. ‘Demos means people’ and ‘kratos’ or ‘kratia’ means ‘ruling power’. So, literally democracy is the ruling power of the people. According to President Lincoln-Democracy is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. There are some characteristics of democracy. Multi-party system, free and fair judiciary, freedom of presso etc. are some of these.
Participation of every citizen of the state in ruling the state is the most significant merit of democracy. Besides, equality, justice and accountability are some important merits of this government system. On the other hand, democracy, sometimes, is regarded as the cult of incompetence. This is because democracy is the cult of majority.
