DEF

Forme de gouvernement dans lequel la multitude, la foule, la populace, détient tous les pouvoirs et impose tous ses désirs.

CONT

Flottant au gré des passions populaires, emportée par la foule, la démocratie, de pressions en dépressions, risque de sombrer. Si c'est le cas, si la populace remplace le peuple, alors s'installe à sa place un autre régime, l'ochlocratie.
