"First Draft" Democracy is a form a government used all around the world. Democracy has different forms and changes from place to place. I believe democracy is effective because allows all citizens to participate and communicate to create similar goals. Without willing participants democracy could not exist. The Democratic Republic, the form of government the United States has, also has many flaws. The Electoral College is one of these major issues. It is a body that has the ability to go against the popular vote of the citizens and choose the candidate they want. Thomas Jefferson once said "A democracy is nothing more than an angry mob, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.' The main issue with democracy is the power in distributed unevenly, but equality in reality is something that cannot be achieved through democracy. The leaders of democracy also manage to take advantage of the people in this country who do understand politics. They do so by promises of hope and change. I don't believe there is any easy fix for the flaws of democracy because in reality all forms of governemnts have some kind of flaw.
