Kristal's hand shot up in the air quickly and spoke with her hand still raised. "Democracy, a government by the muggle people where the people either directly hold office or indirectly elect the representatives and leaders by periodicly held, free elections and make important decisions. Majority rules. The policy of democracy was first founded by the Greeks who decided that power was too much for any one man to hold. A Government by the people, for the people - as Abraham Lincoln said. It also is the rights and independance of the people. Also, democracy is the principles of social equality and the respect for an individual within a muggle community." She hoped she didn't miss something and nervously let her hand drop to her side.
