In a democracy, the ruler is not a single individual but rather a collective representation of the people, often embodied in elected officials and institutions. Power is derived from the consent of the governed, and decisions are made through a system of voting and majority rule. This form of governance emphasizes individual rights, freedoms, and participation in political processes. Ultimately, democracy prioritizes accountability and transparency in leadership.
