Democracy

Democratic, I believe. You may want to check that on Wikipedia or a book, however. :) Hope I helped!

• Democracy is government in which power and civic responsibility are exercised by all adult citizens, directly, or through their freely elected representatives.

• Democracy rests upon the principles of majority rule and individual rights. Democracies guard against all-powerful central governments and decentralize government to regional and local levels, understanding that all levels of government must be as accessible and responsive to the people as possible.

• Democracies understand that one of their prime functions is to protect such basic human rights as freedom of speech and religion; the right to equal protection under law; and the opportunity to organize and participate fully in the political, economic, and cultural life of society.

• Democracies conduct regular free and fair elections open to citizens of voting age.

• Citizens in a democracy have not only rights, but also the responsibility to participate in the political system that, in turn, protects their rights and freedoms.

• Democratic societies are committed to the values of tolerance, cooperation, and compromise. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, "Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit."

so they can know what is going on

Debate informs people as to the issues and possible solutions so that consensus as to what should be done can be built.

The UK has a representative democracy, the Prime Minister is voted into power by the British public.

It is also a constitutional monarchy, with a limited monarch as a figurehead.

All people need to be equal

the origin of the word emocracy if greek.

--------------------------

emocracy?

Democracy is indeed greek but i don't think that's what they were asking.

Democracy originated before the turn of the 5th century.

The most important barriers to the US being a democracy is the fact that We the People rarely vote for small things, and the fact that we don't vote at all. In a democracy, every decision the government makes will be voted on, and the peoples' votes will be added up and a decision will be made. Here in the US, we have offical morons who vote for us, and their votes are not effected by what We the People vote for. At least it seems like it....

Representative. We vote for people to represent us.

I would argue that direct democracy is not successful at all. In a true democracy every legal citizen would have an equal say in EVERY decision made. What we have here in the United States is not a true democracy. We have a mix of direct democracy and elected representatives. Some drawbacks to a complete democracy would include; decisions take alot of time and in times of war we need quick action, my ten year old brother would have just as much say in the functionings of our government as a US senator, and it would be a tyrannic rule by the majority-51% of the population could force the other 49% to do whatever they please.

Democracy is a system where decisions taken by the system are voted on by individual members of the system or their elected representatives.

The "social" side of social democracy refers to the provision of universally-provided social welfare services, where the government runs social programs such as government administered pensions, Health care, unemployment insurance, welfare or other social safety net programs.

Social Democracy is a system that combines both government regulation and some public ownership of areas of the economy that can be small, vast or somewhere between. This is a decision for the democracy side of social democracy.

In a Democracy people vote for their representitives, this happenes at election time.

many countries like syria,cuba....etc

because the Dutch -speaking people constituted a majority in the country, but a minority in the capital

Japan is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy similar to the UK, Canada, Sweden or Belgium. The Emperor is the head of state and keeps strictly out of politics.

The three measures which can help Indian democracy mature can be:

One language by birth,

Free health care from birth and

Abolish caste basis of birth.

P.S.- ...or else hand over to the British once again!

Formally, yes.

Many would say it's a government headed by Democrats rather than by Republicans, IOW a government in disarray but with hope for the future.

Not in accordance with a political constitution, esp. the US Constitution, or with procedural rules

No, it was an oligarchy.

A type of democacy in which the citizens delegate authoriy to elect representatives.

To increase sales for a product or service. Pretty much the same as everywhere else.
