What's This Book About
Publisher Summary
This interesting book describes the characteristics of a democracy, a political system in which the government’s power comes from its citizens. Democratic governments around the world are featured to show examples of direct and representative democracy, how elections work, and the different checks and balances put in place to avoid the so-called “tyranny of the majority.”
