RE: Vocab-ability–189 (popul, publ = people) – A More Powerful Vocabulary (earn UpVotes with “Vocab Practice” exercise)
- popular: Some believe the popular opinion is the democratic opinion.
- population: It seems democratic, when deciding on a course of action, to accept the will of the majority of the population.
- public: However, the people are not the public, rather they reside in and belong to it - an inhabitant and constituent of the public forum.
- publicity: In true democracy the plurality of opinions receive their due publicity; the popular opinion predominates but it is not the only opinion held by the public.
Please read and follow Rule #5.
