«Democracy» is one of the most recognizable and important ideas of modern humanity. The literal meaning of the word is «power of the people», but each principle can have different ways of implementation. Nowadays, democracy is understood in the narrow sense of majority rule almost worldwide. Such form of social organization is presented as an ideal of justice: it is asserted that this is the only way for satisfying human need for personal freedom. The concepts of democracy and freedom were intertwined, even somewhat identical in the modern world. Text task is to consider what «democracy» is, how to understand «personal freedom» and how the principle of «people governance» can be implemented in practice.
