Instructions
Democracy  is  a  system  of  government  in  which  laws,  policies,  leadership,  and  major    of  a  state  or  other  polity  are  directly  or  indirectly  decided  by  the  'people',  a  group  historically  constituted  by  only  a  minority  of  the  population  (e.g.,  all  free  adult  males  in  ancient  Athens  or  all  sufficiently  propertied  adult  males  in  19th-century  Britain)  but  generally  understood    the  mid-20th  century  to  include  all  (or  nearly  all)  adult  citizens.  By  and  large,  states  with  democratic  governments  prevent  rule  by  autocrats,    fundamental  individual  rights,  allow    a  relatively  high  level  of  political  equality,  and  rarely  make  war  on  each  other.  As  compared  with  nondemocratic  states,  they  also  better  foster  human  development  as    by  indicators  such  as  health  and  education,  provide  more  prosperity  for  their  citizens,  and  ensure  a    range  of  personal  freedoms.
