The word 'democracy' has its origins in the Greek language. It combines two shorter words: 'demos' meaning whole citizen living within a particular city-state and 'kratos' meaning power or rule. ... A belief in shared power: based on a suspicion of concentrated power (whether by individuals, groups or governments).
