Generally speaking, a government that has only the powers given to it by the people it serves is called a democracy. It is understood that a pure democracy has truly never existed. In ancient Athens they had a democracy except for the fact that women could not vote. Also, others were denied the vote as well.In todays world, most so-called democratic nations are those in which citizens vote for representatives that form a major part of the nations' government. Some governmental actions are created by democratically elected officials. In the US for example, a Supreme Court justice is not nominated and confirmed to be on the Supreme Court by way of a popular vote. However, the officials responsible for the nomination of such judges are elected officials. Citizens opposed to their actions may vote the officials out of office or unite to change the US Constitution.
