Democracy" is Greek and means rule by the people."Demos" means people and "kratos" means rule or
strength. Citizens in a representative democracy elect people to represent them. These
representatives listen to the people, but they also exercise their own judgment when making
decisions. Majority rule means that decisions which receive the most votes are binding on the whole
group. The right to vote is the most important right citizens have. The right to vote in the United
States was denied to many groups like women and African Americans. African American men got the
right to vote in 1870. Women got the right to vote fifty years later in 1920. And 18 year olds got the
right to vote in 1971. These groups fought for the right to vote. To protect democracy and prevent
tyranny, the U.S. government is divided into three branches. Each branch has separate and
independent powers--although there is much mingling of responsibilities. The three branches of the
American government are the legislative, executive, and judicial. Citizens in a democracy have more
rights than in other forms of government.
