Detailed Solution

Demokratia is the Greek word from which the term democracy originated.
Both 'democracy' and 'Kratia'/'Kratos' are Greek terms. 'Demos' means 'people,' and 'kratia/kratos' means 'to govern' in Greek. Hence, the term "democracy" refers to "popular rule". Abraham Lincoln stated, "Democracy is a government of the people, for the people, and by the people." A democracy is a political system in which people exercise direct power or elect individuals to represent them from among themselves. Hence, it is also known as the majority rule.
