Democracy, then, isn't autocracy or dictatorship, where one person rules; and it's not oligarchy, where alittle segment of society rules. Properly understood, democracy shouldn't even be "rule of the majority", if meaning that minorities' interests are ignored completely. A democracy, a minimum of in theory, is government on behalf of all the people, consistent with their "will". Who people are and the way authority is shared among them are core issues for democratic theory, development and constitution. Some cornerstones of those issues are freedom of assembly and speech, inclusiveness and equality, membership, consent, voting, right to life and minority rights, there are two sorts of democracy: direct and representative. In a direct democracy, the people directly deliberate and choose on legislature. In a representative democracy, the people elect representatives to deliberate and choose on legislature, like in parliamentary or presidential. Democracy research articles journals serve as forums for the introduction and presentation for scrutiny of new democracy research articles, and the critique of existing research. Content typically takes the form of articles presenting original research, review articles, and book reviews.
