Explanation:

Democracy is a form of governance with a political system that acknowledges and protects civil liberties, allows expression of political opinions by the citizenry and restraints the power of the people holding office in the different institutions that exist.

The first democracy country is traced to 1809 till 1848 during which they were three. By the beginning of the 20th century there were 10 democratic countries and the system has been continued being  adopted  reaching 87 countries by 2009. India is the largest democracy in the world.

Answer 2

In the past there used to be direct participation of the people in the management of decision making and public affairs. This was possible as the units of administration and the population were small. This type of democracy is called direct democracy. This is not possible today because of the large size and population. This is only followed in some provinces of Switzerland. In the past only the adult male population were allowed to vote, and also participate in decision making, whereas today in democracy all the citizens have the right to vote irrespective of their caste, religion etc.
