Pure democracy, as our Founding Fathers knew and feared, is a very poor form of government. Democracy is 3 tigers and a goat voting on what's for dinner. Slavery was OK under a democracy, and the majority opinion has been wrong time after time. It has been said once the electorate understands they can vote to take money from those who earn it, and through legislation, give it to those who do not, that government is doomed. That is why we have a representative republic form of government. Describing ourselves as a "Democracy" didn't start until late in the 20th century.

Political parties have developed alongside democracy. State's party system profoundly affect the character of democracy. Without good character, systems of government will fail.

a direct democracy would be near impossible in a country with as many citizens as the U.S., which is why we are governed by a representative democracy.

Depends on the government really. some democracies are successful (i.e. UK) while others arent. democracy is the form of government in which the rules are elected by the people
