The Hanging Orchid

Or the hanging democracy.

From the education.nationalgeographic.org website.

“The ancient Greeks were the first to create a democracy. The word “democracy” comes from two Greek words that mean people (demos) and rule (kratos). Democracy is the idea that the citizens of a country should take an active role in the government of their country and manage it directly or through elected representatives. In addition, it supports the idea that the people can replace their government through peaceful transfers of power rather than violent uprisings or revolutions. Thus, a key part of democracy is that the people have a voice.”
