Grammar
of the people, for the people, by the people
Hi,
It is a bit confusing to me when I am trying to understand the phrase "of the people, for the people, by the people" in the sentance "Democracy is of the people, for the people, by the people" especially "of the people." If you could elaborate more on what does it mean by that phrase, I would greatly appreciate it.
Have a nice day.
Regards.

- of the people - it belongs to them for the people - it exists to make people's lives good by the people - people must be active, not passive, in maintaining and defending it Perhaps an American will offer another interpretation.
- Actually, when you think about it, these things are true of all democracies, wouldn't you say?

Hi Clive,
It makes perfect sense how you delineated in your reply to my question. I totally agree with you. Democracy is democracy everywhere, and the true meaning of that phrase should be applied to all countries in this world. However, unfortunately, in this current world, the true meaning of democracy is gradually reducing to tangentail system, especially in Asia and Africa.
