Democracy
The true definition of a democracy consists of these words: government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
As that may be the dictionary definition of democracy, there is no universally agreed definition. Even though there is no universally accepted definition of ‘democracy’, there are two principles that any definition of democracy includes. The first principle is that all members of the society (citizens) have equal access to power and the second that all members (citizens) enjoy universally recognized freedoms and liberties. Many opinions exist of the democracy, and most people decided that they have many issues with this type of government. I believe that, yes, there definitely needed to be organization in our country and government was probably at the time the most simplistic way of forming this organization. Though their initiative to take advantage of the people is completely wrong, and the principle of the democracy is not fulfilling its destiny of all equal and people of freedom. Our democracy is made up of greedy and selfish individuals in which only care about the people affecting them rather than the people they are affecting. Money brings the worst out in people, and this is exactly what happened to the government. When there is no one to turn to for money, they turn to the 300,000,000 people of the country for their money. They know what they are doing to many, but they also don’t think the slightest bit of changing those actions.
