Democracy One Minute History_

Democracy is a form of government where power resides with the people, who exercise it directly or through elected representatives. It's characterized by principles such as political equality, majority rule with respect for minority rights, and the protection of individual freedoms and human rights. Democracies typically involve regular elections, the rule of law, separation of powers, and a system of checks and balances to ensure accountability and prevent the concentration of power in any one individual or group.
