Democracy

His establish of Athenian dominance of 180 Greek city-states after the Persian War, converting the Delian League into an empire of Athens, thereby giving it the money and military strength to spend on a superior navy and on Athens' welfare state.

A country with a dictatorship makes it so that you cannot vote for a leader, but the leader can select the next leader. Also, the leader makes all the decisions, no one to argue with for him. He chooses everything that happens in that country's government. The USA has a republican democracy.

people uses democracy actually democracy is the rule by the people for the people

and to the people:)

Free and Fair Elections.

Pluralism in distribution of political power to widespread parts of society. Formations of civil society.

Civil, Social and Democratic rights are granted to all citizens, and full-time residents of the society. By society, I mean the people subject to the sovereign power within the sovereign territory.

1.Civil Rights - Freedom of speech, religion, thought, media etc. Property rights well defined and freedom for everyone to buy/own and sell property.

2.Social Rights - Freedom to education, social assistance plans, public health information, welfare etc.

3.Democratic Rights - Freedom to vote (universal suffrage), freedom to run for power, freedom to challenge constitution through judicial process.

Also perhaps weak state intervention in political political economy, although not always the case, as shown in Japan.

Of course this all depends on the type of democracy we're talking about; be it the liberal model or the conservative model. I think pluralism and the rights are a given, but welfare and political economy depends on the type of democracy present and that is usually taken account for.

because citizens decide or influence issues by voting

The League of Nations

It is part of the USA and so yes Alaska is a democracy

In many ways, the trial by jury is a core democratic principle. The separation of legislation from enforcement, and of both of those processes from direct decision-making by ordinary people, is the product of indirect democracy or republicanism. But when the ultimate powers of fact-finding and deciding how government will treat a person given the facts found - whether it be a person's freedom in a criminal trial which can result in incarceration, a person's assets in a civil trial, and a person's dignity and standing in the community in either - lies in the hands of people chosen more or less at random, it is an instantiation of a more direct kind of democracy.

This is more properly the subject of a thousand-page treatise, but I hope my answer can give you some food for thought on the subject. It is a critically important subject and one that has fascinated me for a long time.

Greece

democracy is protected by the government and the laws of the country that you are in and live in

the elements that make democracy popular are

*rule of law and respect for rights : all people are equal before the eyes of law and the law protects them equally .

*decision making mechanism:it involves many people ,disscusions,meetings and stages before a bill becomes a law

*accommodation of diversity : in any society people are bound to have diverse beliefs , faiths and opinions.

*enhancing human dignity : people should be not discriminated on the basis of caste , color , gender , place of birth , religion , property etc.

*universal adult franchise : every adult citizen without any discrimination on the basis of status , caste , color , religion , gender , education , property or any other qualification has been provided right to vote.

For most of human history, rule was exclusively theocratic, monarchic, or autocratic, so the idea that a government should have some accountability to people is a relative rarity. The reason that democracy had a shot in Athens was that the city was so compacted and the local nobility could all readily communicate to one another. Once Athens had designed the system, it remained available for others to effectively modify. Rome started with the Republic before decaying into autocracy. The United States had the fortune of having its American Revolution led by individuals who believed in democracy and re-implementing it as a form of governance. With the increasing economic and political success of the United States, other nations have follow suit and established (or tried to establish) their own democracies.

Pure "Democracy" does exist at the lowest and community level, after that it gets very complicated (one man, one vote, majority rules can lead to a lot of abuse, for that reason, our Founding Father's chose a Constitutional Republic.)

a synonym for founder in that sentence would be creator. and if that is not what you're looking for, simply go and look it up on another website like wikipedia.

In short it is probably the first democracy that was created on Earth. It differs somewhat of from modern one. Citizens were only non-slave males who had both parents Athenians. Also to be judge or create laws one was not elected but was randomly picked like jury is picked in USA.

The countries you have named all practice representative democracy (oligarchy) as opposed to true democracy.

Considering that there were no democracies for the entire 17th century and all but the last two decades of the 18th century, but there were absolutist states during those periods, absolutism wins by default.

Democracy in and of itself is a liberal idea.

The opposite of this is absolute monarchy with several different political forms in between.

Socialism and communism are more extreme forms of democracy than representative democracy, that also include rights of the state or collective body having more precedence than the rights of the individual.

In an absolute monarchy only the monarch has rights.

In a representative democracy the rights of individuals and minorities take precedence over the rights of the state.

A non-liberal democracy might be considered as a plutocracy (or oligarchy) where only a small group, the wealthy in this case, or enlightened leaders in an oligarchy, have specific rights and control the lives of everyone else. Though by definition these are not true democracies.
