Dear Student,
The word democracy is originated from the two Greek words demos (people) and kratia (power). This simply means rule by the people. The concept of democracy comes from ancient Athens in 508 B.C. Athens was a city-state in Greece.
Democracy government is of the people, by the people, for the people. This quote or definition of democracy was coined by U.S. president Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) .
Regards.
