The word democracy comes from the Greek words demos, which means "people," and kratein, which means to rule"

Why do you think the term democracy is an appropriate name for our system of government?

Democracy is an appropriate term to use for our system of government because the whole aspect of our government is to let the people decide through voting. The people have the most power, that’s what it’s supposed to be that’s what was set in the books but sometimes government officials find loopholes to do things the American people don’t want. But the whole aspect of our government is to let the people vote and have a say in the ruling of their country.
