Answer:

Explanation:

1. Direct democracy

The people directly discuss and decide on government legislation. Here, citizens can directly participate in making decisions. This is practical for small communities.

2. Representative democracy

The people select a representative who then discusses and decides on the legislature. Here the citizens elect people to make political decisions for them, form laws and create programs focused on the good of the public.

So, these two types of democracies are being practiced around the world. Before understanding the characteristics of Democracy, it is important to have a look upon its origin.

3. Origin of the term Democracy

As an ancient Greek philosophical and political thought, the term ‘Democracy’ has its origin in the city of Athens. It is derived from two Greek words-

Demos- Common People

Kratos- Strength

In this Demos Kratos concept of ancient Greek, the supreme power is vested in the people.

As per a famous phrase of Abraham Lincoln-

Democracy is the government ‘of the People, by the people, and for the people.

Some people get confused between the terms ‘Freedom’ & ‘Democracy’. For understanding the characteristics of Democracy, it is also essential to understand this difference as well.
