- these definitions are not the same as the one you stated previously.
- All these 3 definitions of democracy may apply to a democracy that uses allotment instead of elections.
- You are correct that modern usage of democracy is restricted to "election based majority government".
- Republic is a wholly separate, orthogonal concept. Pre-empire Rome was a republic, not a democracy.
- marcosdumay 7y ago> these definitions are not the same as the one you stated previously. "Government by the people" vs "The common people, considered as the primary source of political power" vs. "government must serve the governed people". Oh, I see, I have used different words! > All these 3 definitions of democracy may apply to a democracy that uses allotment instead of elections. Where did I say it doesn't apply? > You are correct that modern usage of democracy is restricted to "election based majority government". Wait, what? I didn't say that, and it is not correct.
