Abstract
Democracy is a system of government in which the people rule themselves either

rule in a constituency while the minority make their presence felt, all the same. The electorates
choose leaders at periodic elections to represent them, and these elections assume that
representatives and electorates have settled on the manner of human and national development that
the elected representatives should effect. Active participation of the electorates is thus seen in
terms of emergence
