Origin:
The term "psephocracy" was first coined by the Greek historian Polybius in the 2nd century BC to describe the democratic government system of the Roman Republic.
Polybius observed that the Roman people had the power to elect their leaders and pass laws through voting. He believed that this system, in contrast to monarchy or aristocracy, gave the common people a significant say in their own governance.
Over time, the term "psephocracy" has continued to be used to refer to systems of government where power is derived from the will of the majority, as expressed through elections or other forms of popular vote.
