Democracy

The definition of democracy is: 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. This means that the people have the rights. This goes as far as electing presidents but in reality, leaders make the decisions. They decide if we go to war, even if we disagree. They raise taxes and we have to pay them. We don’t have the rights. If we did, we wouldn’t be getting arrested. If we had the rights, the saying would be “Don’t ask what you can do for your country. Ask what your country could do for you.”
