Democracy is a Greek word of origin, meaning the government of the people or the power of the people. It is the people who choose the government and the form of governance and the dominant systems of political State, the economic and social power of the State.
The concept of democracy is essentially based on a fundamental principle, the sovereignty of the nation, in the sense that the people and the nation as a whole constitute a moral entity independent of individuals, exercising powers themselves or through their ideals, determining who holds power and who has the right or no responsibility to exercise it; Because he represents the sovereign and is considered to be the basis of the democratic principle, and he represents the supreme authority of the State and does not see it as being punished and has two manifestations:

Direct Democracy:
It is a form of democratization, in which decisions are voted directly to the opposite of representative democracy, it works to issue executive orders, legislate the two laws, elect and dismiss officials, conduct trials that are subject to direct democratization, and make it possible to do so.
Referendum:
Referendums enable citizens to reject any unwanted law or legislation, and initiatives allow for the proposition of bills and laws submitted by public audiences. Recall:
The summonses provide the possibility of dismissing any public official before the expiration of his or her mandate, where the officials are deemed to be executive agents or direct commissioners committed to the peoples will. Initiative:

Parliamentarian democracy: Its called indirect democracy, where its one of the most popular forms of democracy in the world. By secret universal suffrage, the deputies are elected by the people. for the exercise of judgement on its behalf during a certain period, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and of the parliamentary system in which deputies are elected directly by the people to carry out the function of legislation and oversight In turn, he would choose someone who would head the executive branch, named Prime Minister, and the executive branch would be responsible to Parliament. What distinguishes this kind is that the Head of State is honorary, He does not have much power and the effective authority is in the hands of the Prime Minister. And it is he who chooses the ministers who remain in office as long as they receive support from the majority of members of Parliament, In some cases the government is not confident, in this case it must resign and another person is assigned to carry out the Prime Ministers duties. The formation of the Cabinet, where the executive branch of the party that received the highest votes or through a coalition of parties is formed, is an example of what is happening in Britain.

The election is considered to be one of the most important means of assuming power at the present time, as the election is organic to democracy, the election appeared when democracy emerged, because the people choose someone to exercise power on the side of society.
Popular democracy: This concept is called the regime of governance in States subject to communist influence As the former Soviet Union and former Socialist Camp Doole, Western democracies consider this system to be undemocratic, because its methods do not conform to the basic criteria decided by democracies, The expression of the will of the people takes place on the basis of a complex system imposed within the highest leadership of one party or Government. freedom of choice , which restricts a citizens freedom to endorse or reject a party without another.
