According to one recent (source ), ''"democracy,'' for the Greeks who coined the word, meant 'power of the people' or 'rule of the people.' Perhaps the best-known example of genuine democracy in a highly-advanced, highly-literate, polity, is Athens and its sister democracies of Ancient Greece. There, all significant political, legal, and judicial decisions were made directly by the people. Democratic Athens went to war if, and only if, the majority so voted; a man was exiled, or condemned to death, if, and only if, his fellow citizens so decreed." With the possible exception of Switzerland, no country in the world today is a direct democracy. Instead, extant systems in the West and elsewhere can be best described as ''representative democracies'', where the people elect members of the executive, legislative, and sometimes even judicial branches, who then proceed to govern on the people's behalf. In this version of democracy, a country can go to war, for instance, even when the majority is in favor of peace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Criticism of democracy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
