설명
The idea of democracy as a system of government originated from Ancient Greece, particularly in the city-state of Athens around the 5th century BC. The term "democracy" comes from the Greek words:
- "Demos" (meaning "people")
- "Kratos" (meaning "rule" or "power")
Thus, democracy means "rule by the people."
