Demos means people kratia means government

Answer 2

Demos' means People and 'Kratia,' means the government.

Explanation:

The term 'democracy' is derived from two Greek words 'demos' and 'Kratia'. 'demos' means 'people' and 'kratia' means 'government'. So democracy literally means rule of the people.  

Democracy is a form of government in which the people have the authority to choose who they are governed by. In short, we use the term "of the people, by the people, for the people" to represent democracy. So the government is made of the people, chosen by the people, for the welfare of the people is the principle.

 

Government is formed by the elected representatives who are chosen by the people directly by voting. The elected representatives then chose a head of the government from among themselves who runs the government.
