In the first day of my Civics class, I was asked the question, "What is democracy?" I was stumped by this question. By definition, democracy means the government **by the people**. This I believe. I believe that our country's or even our town's decisions should be made **by the people**. However, that is not always the case. For example, when George W. Bush was in office everyone in America dubbed him as one of the worst presidents we've ever had because of his plan to invade Iraq. Although Bush may not have been our best president, no one else in America came up with a better plan to stop terrorism. **We the people** should not look down upon something if we have nothing better to put in place of it.
