Democracy.

Explanation:

Democracy is a broad concept of political policies based on public participation in the decisions that affect them. The basic premise is that power in a particular human society has its primary source in the people.  

Representative democracy is the most common form of democracy today. Due to time constraints and the increased expertise required to make decisions on the various issues that matter, there has been a specialized division of labor in which politicians run for office. Politicians accept the people's mandate in elections and thus represent the public and make decisions on their behalf. Direct democracy means that the public is directly involved in decision-making, without representatives or other intermediaries.
