In a democracy, the final decision-making power must rest with those elected by the people. A democracy must be based on a free and fair election where those currently in power have a fair chance at losing. In a democracy, each adult citizen must have one vote and each vote must have one value. A democratic government rules within the limits set by the constitutional laws and citizens' rights. All of the above mentioned points are some features needed by a government to be called a democracy. If a government does not fulfill the above mentioned points, it is not a true democracy and is in reality, a monarchy or some other form of government.} \tn

This is where everyone's opinions has equal value. {\emph{Demokratia}} is the Greek root word of democracy which means rule of the people. Thus, a democracy can be a government, a family or any organization. Sometimes, it can be used to refer to an ideal government, where all the people's needs are satisfied. This can help evaluate existing democracies. Any decision made with the opinion of the people affected by it is a democratic decision.} \tn
