every free citizen has the right to vote argue and democracy want everyone to be equal
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.
Many countries that have democratically elected governments practice representative democracy. Countries like the US, the UK and most of the western countries practice representative democracy.
That is a good question. Considerable individual choice is one characteristic that both share. In a democratic society the citizen is encouraged to participate (or at least he should be encouraged) and Capitalism is free-ranging and multi-optional with opportunities you can create for yourself.Democracy and Capitalism are not either/or. But they are not the same thing either. Opportunities in democracy and opportunities in Capitalism should be encouraged in both if both are to succeed.
In strict political terms the sentence is a self-contradiction as a "Democracy" and a "Republic" are strict opposites. The sentence however attempts to describe a political philosophy, of: A nation of laws built on strict rights; whose representatives (in/of law) are elected by a popular vote.
Yes. We are not really free, and we don't have a true democracy. What we have is a representative democracy. We don't really make decisions. We elect people to make decisions for us, and they often have motives other than our best interests at heart. You might think of a good law that would help many, but if it is not politically expediant, no representative will sponsor it. Also, think of the many things we could say and do a decade ago that we cannot do now. We still have a representative democracy, at least at face value, but we continually seem to be losing freedoms.
it is important to be a good citizen because if you are a good citizen you are nice to others.
An active citizen is someone who actively participates in civic activities and engages in issues affecting their community, whereas a good citizen is someone who follows laws, respects others, and contributes positively to society. Being active involves more direct involvement in democracy and community affairs, while being good pertains more to ethical behavior and adherence to social norms.
