Abraham Lincoln defined democracy as "government of the people, by the people, for the people." This means that in a democratic system, the power and authority of the government comes from the people, who elect their representatives to make decisions on their behalf. Lincoln believed that democracy is a system that is based on the principles of equality, freedom, and justice for all citizens.
