Answer:

Explanation:

The meaning of democracy – from the Greek word – demokratia – is “rule by the people”. As a system of government, it is now almost universally commended. To describe a country, or a policy, as “undemocratic” is to criticise it and those countries that are undemocratic are continually urged towards reform.

Yet, democracy is a complex and contested notion. Moreover, until relatively recently, the idea of rule by the people was as much (if not more) feared as loved. The ancient Greek philosopher Plato, for example, related democracy to the rule of unbridled and untutored passions over cool and reflective reason. Invoking a now common image of the ship of state, Plato asks whether a real ship in stormy waters is sensibly governed by a trained captain who has knowledge of seamanship and navigation or by the crew who have no specialist training. This seems a good question, and although such views are no longer part of the currency of intellectual thought, democrats continue to worry about the role of civic education, for example, in moulding a population so that its members do not just rule, but rule by informed decision making.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: D. Greco-Roman principles have led to laws that are based on reason  rather than God's will.

Explanation:

Based on the teachings of Roman and Greek scholars, certain issues were raised that would eventually lead to the formation of modern democratic thought. During the Renaissance, there was an "awakening" of ancient thought and individual freedom, and greater autonomy of man from politics and the church. Humanists also promote these ideas. The Enlightenment will also develop through humanism and the Renaissance. Enlightenment thinkers are even more committed to the separation of church and politics, to the separation and independence of citizens. Under the influence of such attitudes, democratic thought will begin to develop. Thus, the process began in the late XIV. century, but was influenced by ancient thought. Eventually it took shape in a modern form during the XIX. century.
