Democracy in most countries today can be called representative democracies. That is:
• All the people do not rule.
• A majority is allowed to take decisions on behalf of all the people.
• Even the majority does not rule directly.
• The majority of people rule through their elected representatives. Only representative democracies are viable in today’s world. Because modern democracies involve a large number of people and it is physically impossible for all of them to sit together and take a collective decision.
Now let us look at the other aspects of democracy:
• A democratic decision involves constitution with and consent of all those who are affected by that decision.
• Those who are not powerful have the same say in taking the decision of those who are powerful.
• Democracy can apply to a government or a family or any other organization. • Democracy is also a principle that can be applied to any existing government but to set up an ideal standard that all democracies must aim to become.
• When the true meaning of the word ‘democracy’ is understood, one begins to value democracy.
• Understanding the ideals behind the word ‘democracy’ enables one to judge n existing democracy and identify its weakness.
• Understanding the principles behind the word ‘democracy’ helps one to distinguish between a minimal democracy and a good democracy.

See democracy is nothing but who works for peaple welfare.
a democracy means where we elect members.
The elected members work for the people, of the people and by the people.
