1. Today in most

countries  democracy can be called

representative democracy. Because all the people do not rule. Decisions are

taken by the representatives on behalf of all the people.

2. The powerful and the

not so powerful people both have the same say in taking decisions.

3. A democratic decision

involves consultation and consent of the people who are affected by the

decision.

4. Democracy is a

principle which can be applied to any sphere of life.

5. Sometimes, the word

democracy is not used to describe any existing government but to set up an ideal

standard that all democracies must aim to reach.

 For example, the Democracy Monument is a

public monument in the centre of Bangkok, capital of Thailand, which was

commissioned in 1939 by the military ruler of Thailand.
