What is democracy and democratic movement

Democracy is a system of government where supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections. Key principles include equality, liberty, and fraternity.

A democratic movement is a collective effort by citizens to establish, expand, or defend democratic principles and institutions. These movements often arise in response to authoritarian rule or to advocate for greater political participation, human rights, and accountability from the government. They can involve protests, civil disobedience, advocacy, and the formation of political organizations.
