Ralph symbolises democracy because he was democratically elected as the chief. Most the of the decisions about the boys life on the island were made as a result of democratic discussions during meetings, in which every boy had a right to speak. When Ralph told the boys off about not sticking to the rules he reminded them that they had 'all agreed' to those rules, such as building shelters, collecting water, using the sea as a toilet and keeping the fire lit. Jack, in complete contrast wanted absolute power, he made the decisions, without discussion, and he then expected everyone else to simply carry out his orders.
