Democracy

Thesis: Is democracy a possible form of government? With out it the world would be full of chaos and injustice. Democracy is the form of government that America has today. We are able to vote on whom we want to run our government. We have a say in what goes on in our lives and our future. Imagine not being able to vote for who controls your country. If we did not have a say in how the country is ran that would not be fair. What kind of rules would be set up if the government were a dictatorship, oligarchy, or even anarchy? The writer of this paper believes that it would not be fair.

Today we are able to vote on who controls our government. We have a say and the right to vote on what laws are passed. If the government was a dictatorship imagine having some ruler just taking control of the government and the current leader choosing who will rule after they passed away. You have to follow what the ruler decides, even though it may not benefit you. A dictator makes decisions that would benefit him and he does not take into consideration how that law will affect the citizens of that country. Today in some other countries where democracy is not their form of government people are killed for being disobedient. We have so many advantages having Democracy as our form of government. When our government has to make a decision on something many people are in on the law making process. Although this process takes a long time we can be sure that it is thought threw very well.

the rules and it is a rare and tragic thing when the ruler is assassinated. It is much more common in dictatorship. There are many decisions that have to be made in the world that are very import so you want those decisions to be made right. Democracy is much more realistic in the world today and America is a great example to prove that point. Just take a look at the many riots and other tragic things that go one in other countries that do not have a government system like ours.

Therefore, democracy is a feasible form of government. It is a form of government where many people can have inputs in making a decision that impacts the entire country. How would it be fair if you had no say and this one person gets to make all the decisions on his or her own.
