Answer:

Democracy (Greek: δημοκρατία, The term is derived from the Greek words dēmokratiā, dēmos (“people”) and kratos (“rule”) "rule by [the] people") is a form of government in which the people have the authority to choose their governing legislation. Who people are and how authority is shared among them are core issues for democratic theory, development and constitution. Some cornerstones of these issues are freedom of assembly and speech, inclusiveness and equality, membership, consent, voting, right to life and minority rights.

Generally, there are two types of democracy: direct and representative. In a direct democracy, the people directly deliberate and decide on legislature. In a representative democracy, the people elect representatives to deliberate and decide on legislature, such as in parliamentary or presidential democracy. Liquid democracy combines elements of these two basic types. However, the noun "democracy" has, over time, been modified by more than 3,500 adjectives which suggests that it may have types that can elude and elide this duality.

What are the ideals of democracy?

If you are a small business, we are here to help.

Rule of Law. All people including those who govern, are bound together.

Consent of government. Citizens are the source of all government power. Democracy is based on the idea that governments are only legitimate (they only have the right to rule) if they are based on the consent of the people.

Limited government. Government is not all powerful it may do only those things that people have given it power to do. Checks and balances and separation of powers.

Representative government. Power and civic responsibility are exercised by all citizens, directly and/or through their freely elected representatives. Democracy rests upon the principles of majority rule, coupled with individual, and minority rights. Citizen involvement and open compromise are essential.

Individual rights. All human beings are equal in a fundamental sense. They have enough reason to determine who will rule over them. It denotes participation and responsibility of governance.
