Democracy is a system of government where power ultimately rests with the people rather than a monarch, dictator, or small elite group. The word comes from the Greek "demos" (people) and "kratos" (power or rule).

At its core, democracy means that citizens have a say in how they're governed, typically through voting to elect representatives or directly on laws and policies. Most modern democracies are representative democracies, where people elect officials to make decisions on their behalf, rather than direct democracies where citizens vote on every issue.

Key features usually include:
Free and fair elections where people can choose their leaders
Protection of individual rights and freedoms (speech, assembly, press)
Rule of law that applies equally to everyone, including those in power
Some system of checks and balances to prevent abuse of power
Multiple political parties that can compete for power
Democracies can look quite different from one another—presidential systems like the United States, parliamentary systems like the United Kingdom, or mixed systems like France all organize power differently while maintaining democratic principles.
