A civil society organization is a group of
people which operates in the community, in
a way that is distinct from both government
and business.
Civil society organizations (CSOs)
can play an important role in enhancing
transparency and good governance in
developing countries by contributing to
increased public debate on issues
surrounding the formulation and
implementation of government budgets as
well as in supporting greater transparency
of public revenues.
By other authors, "civil society" is used
in the sense of 1) the aggregate of non-
governmental organizations and institutions
that manifest interests and will of citizens
or 2) individuals and organizations in a
society which are independent of the
government.
A function of civil society is to promote
political participation. NGOs can do this by
educating people about their rights and obligations
as democratic citizens, and encouraging them to
listen to election campaigns and vote in elections.
NGO activities include, but are not limited to,
environmental, social, advocacy and human rights
work. They can work to promote social or political
change on a broad scale or very
locally. NGOs play a critical part in
developing society, improving communities, and
promoting citizen participation.
Social relationships within a civil society are
characterized by strong, active, vibrant, diverse
community-based groups and networks that (1)
facilitate open, voluntary participation; (2) enable
community stakeholders to hold economic and
political actors accountable for outcomes of policy
decisions; (3) provide a context for mutual benefit
and exchange; and (4) seek to promote the
“common good,” with a particular concern for
inclusion of those currently marginalized.

Government of the People
Democracy (Greek: δημοκρατία dēmokr

atía, literally "Rule by 'People") is a
system of government where the
citizens exercise power by voting.
"Rule of the majority" is sometimes

referred to as democracy. Democracy is
a system of processing conflicts in
which outcomes depend on what
participants do, but no single force
controls what occurs and its outcomes.
In the phrase of Abraham Lincoln,

democracy is a government "of the
people, by the people, and for the
people."
Freedom and democracy are often
used interchangeably, but the two are not
synonymous. Democracy is indeed a set
of ideas and principles about freedom,
but it also consists of a set of practices
and procedures that have been molded
through a long, often tortuous history.
In short, democracy is the

institutionalization of freedom. For this
reason, it is possible to identify the time-
tested fundamentals of constitutional
government, human rights, and equality
before the law that any society must
possess to be properly called democratic.
No consensus exists on how to define

democracy, but legal equality, political
freedom and rule of law have been
identified as important characteristics.

Representative democracy
