Democracy

Democracy is a form of government which rules by social equality and through the opinions of all the people who are a part of it. This kind of government assumes that the people it governs will act as a whole and promote common interests; it trusts the people it governs. This is possible within a small society where people are familiar with each other and most likely share common interests, because their familiarity with each other and common interests will make it easy for them to collaborate with each other in the maintenance of a government and in the implementation of new policies. However, if this kind of government is introduced into a large society where peoples of many social classes, races, etc. live together, there will be a clash of different ideas; each of which intend to promote the interests of the group of people who introduced it, since there are so many different groups of people in the society, all wanting what is the best for themselves without concern for others.
