In democracies, power derives from the consent of the governed, where citizens participate in decision-making through free and fair elections. This system emphasizes individual rights, accountability, and the rule of law, ensuring that leaders are answerable to the public. Unlike authoritarian regimes, where power is concentrated in a single leader or ruling party, democracies promote pluralism and the protection of diverse interests and opinions. Ultimately, the legitimacy of democratic power comes from the active engagement and participation of the populace.
