Democracy

This monument, Democracy Monument, in Thailand, symbolizes that form of government in which all classes have a voice in some way or another. "Democracy" comes from two Greek words, demos and kratos. Demos means the common people of a country. Kratos refers to strength and the power to rule. Literally speaking, democracy is rule by the common people. Democracies can be direct, representative or constitutional. MORE! [JG] {WD} {PT}
