Pericles' definition of democracy emphasizes the rule of the many and the importance of civic participation, highlighting equality and the collective decision-making of citizens. While U.S. democracy shares these principles, it also incorporates representative elements where elected officials make decisions on behalf of the populace. Additionally, the U.S. system includes checks and balances that can sometimes limit direct citizen influence. Therefore, while there are similarities, significant differences exist in the execution of democratic ideals.

we could just start from a simple definition:democracy is a form of government in which the rulers are elected by the people.This definition allows us to separate democracy from forms of government that are clearly not democratic.This simple definition is not adequate. It reminds us that democracy is people's rule. But if we use this definition in an unthinking manner we would end calling almost every government that holds an election a democracy.Democracy gives every man the right to be his own oppressor.Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.All the ills of democracy can be cured by more democracy.
