Democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. A system of government in which power is vested in the people, who rule either directly or through freely elected representatives. Democracy begets democratic institutions such as parliaments, local governments and other institutions. Other definitions for democracy are: government by the people; rule by majority; government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.
