Best Answer

Democracy is a system where decisions taken by the system are voted on by individual members of the system or their elected representatives.

The "social" side of social democracy refers to the provision of universally-provided social welfare services, where the government runs social programs such as government administered pensions, Health care, unemployment insurance, welfare or other social safety net programs.

Social Democracy is a system that combines both government regulation and some public ownership of areas of the economy that can be small, vast or somewhere between. This is a decision for the democracy side of social democracy.
