The word "politics" is derived from the latin root "populo" meaning (in general) people. Politics, in latin basically means of the people, which is thought of with the word "democracy." Democracy was one of the early forms of government which only worked in small greek city states and other regions of latin territories such as Rome. It only worked in small areas because the "citizens" such as the adult men voted.
