Answer:

A democratic system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Democracy is a form of government in which the will of the people is the source of legitimate exercise of power. A distinction is made between direct democracy, in which citizens vote personally on laws, decisions and appointments, and indirect, in which the people are represented by an elected body, such as a council or parliament.

In a democracy, the entire population is sovereign and all authority is based on the consent of the people. This form of government is based on the human ideal of equality. If everyone is born free and equal in rights and obligations (as stated in the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) then no one has more right than anyone else to enact certain laws or make decisions. The application of that theory in political practice is often not easy and has many aspects.
