State
A democracy is a government that gives all citizens an equal voice in determining state policy, typically through a governing constitution.
Show
Citizens organize political parties, hold elections, and are guaranteed rights a constitution specifies, rather than deferring to one ruler's will.
Watch for
Naming a nation a democracy describes an ideal its constitution states; how closely practice matches that ideal is a separate question.
