Answer:
Democracy is a system of leaders who carry out the work of government.
Explanation:
Democracy is a form of government in which the will of the people is the source of legitimate power. A distinction is made between direct democracy, in which citizens vote in person about laws, decisions and appointments, and indirect, in which the people are represented by an elected body, such as a council or parliament.
In a democracy, the entire population is sovereign and all authority is based on the (at least theoretical) consent of the people. This form of government is based on the human equality ideal. If everyone is born free and equal in rights and duties (as stated in the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) then no one has more right than anyone else to enact certain laws or make decisions.
