Explanation:

"Democracy" is a form of government by the people. This means that the citizens have a direct and indirect involvement (through a representative) in voting for their leader by majority vote/popular vote. This means that they are not being forced to vote for someone, rather they are given the opportunity to choose someone for the position. The leader's position is also not being passed from one generation to another.
