Democracy
Democracy : Born in ancient Athens, it is a powerful idea and popular political practice for ensuring that individuals and communities rule themselves by participating in decision-making processes that affect their lives. In his Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln famously defined democracy as 'government of the people, by the people, for the people'. Democracy may be direct, as in ancient Athens where small face-to-face communities deliberated and decided on their own political futures, or indirect, where representatives are elected to govern on behalf of the people
