The Basic Meaning of Democracy Is from the Greek and Literally

The basic meaning of democracy is from the Greek and literally means "people" (demos) and "rule" (kratos) . The major problem with this definition is that:

A) it is easy to define who the people are, but defining how they rule is difficult
B) it is difficult to clearly define who the people are and what rule means
C) there is no single definition of "people" that fits all democracies, even despite the fact that the idea of "rule" is widely understood and accepted
D) Greece in ancient times was actually a dictatorship
