Social democracy

Nowadays, an increasing numbers of Americans are arguing that whether U.S should carry out direct democracy to replace representative democracy in U.S government system or not. Direct democracy means people vote for what they want and they do not need a government to interfere with the issues of their nation. However, I think direct democracy cannot be put into practice in the United State. If a nation is without a government, it will be anarchy and chaos. Some negative effects will appear in…

French after each of their revolutions is due to what took place before each war. Before the American Revolution, the Americans government, politics and economics were failing to do their job. Going from a monarchy, where a king or queen rules, to a democracy, where all people have say in government, would have easily fixed their problems. Before the French Revolution, France had a absolute monarchy. King Louis XVI was the ruler. However some questioned his authority and so did the…

Democracy The roots of Democracy can be traced back to the year 508 BC, when Cleisthenes, put in power by the people, put into effect major political reforms in Athens.

type of “activism” by the Court would have strengthened democracy, promoted bottom-up lawmaking, made elected officials more accountable to the people, and enabled government to work for the people, not simply the powerful. DEMOCRACY IS UNSUSTAINABLE Democracy while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide. John Adams…

Now, if you were poorer than those…

The debate of what extent Germany, in the years 1900-1914, was a parliamentary democracy or not can draw up a simple conclusion based on substantial evidence. Von Bismarck’s constitution worked in a way that the Kaiser, whilst being head of state, had to obey and work within the constitutional framework.
