Democracy

No Pericles was a bad leader and abused his power to get what he wanted. He ostracised people who were against him and changed the citizen law so his half son could be come heir.

Under Pericles the economy thrived and the government became more democratic. Because of his skill and intelligence his time of rule is often known as the Age of Pericles. (He created direct democracy, jury, and stipend?

This is what i knew from World history book.

A democracy is a state that is run by the majority. Plato would argue that you couldn't build a "good democracy" since he believed that "A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers"

The only argument against Democracy is that it can be chaotic and its opposing parties can create political gridlock, but as Winston Churchill said, "Democracy is the worst possible form of government, except for every other kind."
The arguments for democracy include a government by the majority that enjoys the support of the majority, while the arguments against democracy include instability caused by changing regimes and political competition and power play at the expense of morality.

To prevent one person from gaining too much power, ancient Athens frequently cycled its offices and provided checks - restrictions on the power of one position by others.

Direct democracy does not "scale" - that is, it requires the citizens themselves to directly vote on all issues before the government. As such, it cannot work efficiently for places with more than a few thousand citizens, at the very most.

The Philippines, like all other modern governments, uses elected representatives to avoid this problem. The Philippines itself is considered a representative democratic republic, specifically a "unitary presidential representative republic", in political science parlance.

no it was never perfect and it might not ever become perfect cause of money and fires and what ever else is happen

Canada is the largest democracy by territory. Only Russia, which is an illiberal democracy is a larger country.

An authentic democracy would be a form of government where every citizen would have an equal vote on every issue that is proposed.

This is a very large question that asks a reader to evaluate a complex political system for its merits. I assume you mean "representative democracy", such as the American system of government.

Merits of Representative Democracy:

- The non-elected citizen, who has the greatest to gain and most to lose in a political situation, has the right to determine, by popular vote, their elected leaders. A fair and open election process will guarantee the consent of the voters to be governed.

- The vote gives a citizen power to voice their opinions on a candidate or proposition, thereby meaningfully participating in the society as a whole.

- Representatives provide a citizenry with a specific voice in their government, thereby securing their interests in the legislative process. The representative who doesn't represent their constituency's interests can be voted out of office by that constituency.

- The citizen may petition the government or engage in public protest if they disagree or wish to change a particular part of their government.

- A representative government guarantee certain specific rights of the population. They are legally obligated to perform these duties under punishment of impeachment, imprisonment, or possibly execution (in the case of treason).

- The three branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial) are balanced so that one branch may not have supreme power over the others. For example, the executive branch may veto a passed bill, but the Congress and Senate may override the veto, making it law. The judicial branch may review the law and find it to be unlawful or unconstitutional, and may strike the passed law down.

Challenges to American Democracy

1. Economy

2. Education

3. Political systems.

4. Military

5. Health Care

6. Dealing with internal challenges that threaten

reform. All societies face internal challenges

that threaten the standard of living for its citizens.

Crime, violence, ethnic unrest and conflict, civil

rights, unemployment, inflation, pollution, and

health care are all examples of issues with which

modern societies must deal. These issues can be

even more difficult when a society is in the reform

stage and caught between the old ways of communism

and the new ways of the Post-Communist era.

FALSE. In a democracy, all people are supposed to be on an equal legal footing, but it is not required that they all have the same physical or mental abilities. In fact, to force every person to be physically and mentally equal to each other is the definition of totalitarianism.

Although the candidates for the 2016 election have not been announced, there are some hopefuls. The Democrats would like to elect Hillary Clinton, while the Republicans are sweet on Senator Ted Cruz.

Andrew Jackson did some things that was democratic and he did some things that wasn't Democratic. Like in the Election of 1824, the people voted foe him and not the legislature. Also when Jackson was almost assassinated. He was only wounded though. Randolph tried to assassinate him but Jackson decided not to press charges or anything.

Most liberal democracies are organized as a representative republic (some are constitutional monarchies), where citizens vote in contested elections (i.e. where two more more meaningfully different persons in the contest) for representatives, who have actual powers to alter current laws in the country and bring about reforms (either more liberal or more conservative). Human Rights are generally protected, especially individual rights such as freedoms of speech and freedom from arbitrary arrest.

Liberal democracies include:

Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Cape Verde, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guyana, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Kiribati, South Korea, Lesotho, Lithuania, Mali, Mexico, Micronesia, Mongolia, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Palau, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sao Tome & Principe, Senegal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Suriname, Sweden, Taiwan, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia (if the recent election is indicative), Turkey, Tuvalu, United Kingdom, United States of America, and Uruguay

advantages are the people have the rights to speak up to the government, the citizens can make the laws with their community and together, also the people can elect and vote and its NT just one person who has te power is the whole community!!!!!

disadvantages are ....

the most important UN contribution is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it sets a worldwide standard for basic social, political, and economic rights. included are the right to life, liberty, and security. also stated are the rights to equal protection under the law, free movement, and free association and assembly with other people. social and economic rights were also added.

1. Russia 2. India 3.Israel 4.Canada 5. Germany

In a pure democracy, everyone votes, and the majority gets their way. The purest form of democracy has been said to be the lynch mob. 99 in favor of the hanging, one opposed. The "ayes" have it.

Laws are made in a democracy by people that the voters have selected to represent them. If the voters are unhappy with what their representatives do, they can remove them from the job and put someone else in their place.
