What to Focus On

  • Democracy means 'rule by the people'.
  • It comes from the Greek words 'Demos' (people) and 'Kratia' (power).
  • It is both a form of government and a way of life.
  • Lincoln emphasized that democracy belongs to the people, is run by them, and serves their interests.
  • Seeley believed that everyone should have a role in governance.
  • Dicey focused on the large participation of citizens in government.
  • Decisions are made through discussion and debate.
  • Majority rules, but minorities are protected.
  • The constitution is supreme.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Democracy means everyone directly votes on every law, so it’s the same as direct democracy.

Referendum and Plebiscite are the same thing.
