Benjamen Franklin used his printing press and his developed writing skills to express and promote his ideas. He also belonged to the Junto - a group of friends who met, debated, discussed, and traded information.

The first line of attack to improve a government policy should be peaceful protests. There are several reasons for this: (1) Your case becomes more sympathetic since you appear more restrained than the government that is repressing your rights. (2) It prevents a reactionary response that a militant form of dissent immediately creates. (3) It shows that you are open to constructive or compromise solutions as opposed to simply "my way or the highway". (4) Further, and specifically in a democracy, the right of peaceful protest is protected.

It depends where they live. In the US and much of the world, they can vote, petition to have laws changed, run for office, audit their government's budget, watch the activities of their government ("Watchdogs"), and protest. If you live in a free country, get involved! See an unfair law? Get it changed through the judicial (a lawsuit for violation of constitutional rights) or get it on the next ballot through a petition. If you live in the US, go to your state's official website to find out how to proceed.

Athenian democracy was all adult male citizens meeting in assembly each fortnight and discussed and voted on the running of the state.

It is not important today other than as interesting history, as democracies today are representative democracies - that is citizens elect representatives to he assembly, who vote on decisions. This present system gives power to the representative politicians who often have different views and are held accountable at elections after several years.

The Revolution against the monarchy occurred in 1954 and succeeded in the same year, bringing the Nasserists to power. They began the process of elections and claimed that Egypt was a democracy, but is important to note that Egypt was typically termed an Illiberal Democracy during this period.

Since the Arab Spring Revolution in Egypt, in 2011-2012, Egypt has become more democratic, but SCAF (the Egyptian Army), still holds a lot of power, making the current Egyptian State a hybrid between a democracy and military junta to be resolved with the writing of a new constitution.

In democracy, people i.e. general public rules and hence power is gained by winning general elections held after certain period of time. Every citizen of a democratic country has the right to vote. So the one who gets the majority of votes gains power.

An elite democracy is one in which the people do not decide on individual matters via popular vote, rather they elect representatives to decide matters in their place. It is also known as a representative democracy, and it is the system the United States and many other democracies worldwide employ. An elite democracy seeks to describe and explain the power relationships in contemporary society. It is used in political science and sociology. It stands in opposition to pluralism in suggesting that democracy is a utopian ideal.
