Description

INTRODUCTION The term democracy has Greek origin and is defined as "The dominance of the people", (i.e. of the public). The most significant feature within a democratic constitution is that the majority rules, while the minority controls and imposes criticism on the majority. The majority protects the minority's rights, whereas, the latter accepts the political system and functions within its limits (1). The first shape of democracy is met in Ancient Athens between 500-321 B.C in the form of a country-state and had the pattern of direct democracy. Today, this model has been replaced by representative democracy through the election of representatives (2).
