Why do we need to define democracy accurately?

Explanation

(i) The simple definition of democracy is not adequate. It reminds us that democracy is people.s rule.
(ii) But if we use this definition in an unthinking manner, we would end up calling almost every government that holds an election is a .democratic". That would be misleading
(iii) Every government in the contemporary world wants to be called a democratic country, even if it is not so.
(iv) That is why we need to carefully distinguish between a government that is actually democratic and one that pretends to be one.
(v) We can do so by defining it carefully that democracy is a form of government in which the rulers are elected by the people and the final decision-making power must rest with those elected by the people.
