Notes:
- Democracy: a form of government in which the supreme power is retained by the people, but which is usually exercised indirectly through a system of representation and delegated authority periodically renewed.
- Constitutional democracy: a form of government in which the sovereign power of the people is spelled out in a governing constitution.
- Democratic republic: a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them.
- Parliamentary democracy: a political system in which the legislature (parliament) selects the government - a prime minister, premier, or chancellor along with the cabinet ministers - according to party strength as expressed in elections; by this system, the government acquires a dual responsibility: to the people as well as to the parliament.
