A democracy, or as we define it, an Ethical Democracy, is a political decision making system in which the performance of the ruling person/group(s) can be practically judged by those under the system according to the Ethical System accepted by the majority, in order to take desired steps towards enhancing the performance, for example by replacing the person/group(s).

Ethical System is by definition a set of widely accepted beliefs including the claim that to adhere to it results in advancement of human. Ethical System is labelled by its followers by a certain name. We do not call "belief subsets" Ethical Systems unless they are followed under a certain name by a large group.

Studying Ethical Systems accepted by a large number of people is an  important part of studying Ethical Democracy.

With strict measures, no Ethical Democracy exists in the world, yet! Democratic processes are still significantly abused and derailed by the media, the wealthy and the powerful. Solutions needed.
