Answer:

A democratic government

Step-by-step explanation:

The term Democracy comes from the Greek word dēmokratiā which means "rule by the people", and it refers to the political system in which people choose and replace government through free elections and there is active participation of the people in politics and civic life, thus, governments who rule under this system are called democartic governments. There are two main types of democracies: The Direct Democracy, where citizens vote directly on each governmental issue, and Representative Democracy, the most common, in which citizens elect representatives that will decide on issues.
