Demokrasi merupakan sistem kerajaan yang kuasanya terletak pada tangan rakyat ("demo" bermaksud "orang"/"rakyat" dalam bahasa Yunani). Di Malaysia, rakyat diwakili di Parlimen oleh Ahli Parlimen dan/atau Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri. Ahli-ahli Parlimen bersidang secara berkala untuk membuat undang-undang yang boleh dikuatkuasakan di seluruh negara.
Sehubungan dengan amalan Demokrasi Berparlimen, kuasa tadbir urus dibahagikan kepada tiga bahagian iaitu:
o Kuasa Eksekutif
o Kuasa Kehakiman
o Kuasa Perundangan.
