民主 既英文係咩?
就是democracy

民主從其字面上來看（源於希臘文δημος demos；人民；κρατειν kratein；統治），代表著由人民統治。至於民主的統治方法、以及其「人民」的構成範圍則有許多不同的定義，但一般的原則是由多數進行統治。民主通常被人與寡頭政治和獨裁政治相比較，在這兩種制度下政治權力高度集中於少數人手上，而沒有如民主政治一般由廣大人民控制。民主一詞經常被使用於描述國家的政治，但民主的原則也適用於其他有著統治行為存在的領域。Democracy describes a small number of related forms of government and also a political philosophy. A common feature of democracy as currently understood and practiced is competitive elections. Competitive elections are usually seen to require freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and some degree of rule of law. Civilian control of the military is often seen as necessary to prevent military dictatorship and interference with political affairs.
Majority rule is a major principle of democracy, though many democratic systems do not adhere to this strictly - representative democracy is more common than direct democracy, and minority rights are often protected from what is sometimes called "the tyranny of the majority". Popular sovereignty is common but not universal motivating philosophy for establishing a democracy.
No universally accepted definition of 'democracy' exists, especially with regard to the elements in a society which are required for it.[1] Many people use the term "democracy" as shorthand for liberal democracy, which may include additional elements such as political pluralism, equality before the law, the right to petition elected officials for redress of grievances, due process, civil liberties, human rights, and elements of civil society outside the government. In the United States, separation of powers is often cited as a supporting attribute, but in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the dominant philosophy is parliamentary sovereignty (though in practice judicial independence is generally maintained). In other cases, "democracy" is used to mean direct democracy.
Though the term "democracy" is typically used in the context of a political state, the principles are also applicable to private organizations and other groups. Democracy has its origins in Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient India, Europe and North and South America [2] but modern conceptions are significantly different. Democracy has been called the "last form of government" and has spread considerably across the globe.[3][citation needed] Suffrage has been expanded in many jurisdictions over time from relatively narrow groups (such as wealthy men of a particular ethnic group), but still remains a controversial issue with regard disputed territories, areas with significant immigration, and countries that exclude certain demographic groups.
As of 2007, almost all countries in the world self-identify as democracies, but many of these are considered by various parties to be undemocratic due to a lack of political freedom or elections which are seen to be flawed. Classification schemes include the Freedom House rankings, the Polity data series, and The Economist's Democracy Index.
The United Nations has declared 15 September as the International Day of Democracy. [4]
