Correct Answer: Abraham Lincoln

Solution : The correct answer is Abraham Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln made the claim that democracy is a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" in his Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863.  He served as the sixteenth President of the United States. From March 4, 1861 until April 15, 1865, he served as President. Lincoln was remembering the Union victory at the Battle of Gettysburg, a watershed moment in the American Civil War, with this address. He also took use of the opportunity to ponder on the essence of democracy and the need of protecting it.
