What is the source of governmental power in a democracy A Democratic government breaks up their powers into three groups. These are the executive, legislative and judicial branches.

In order to establish his position, he consolidated the tentative moves towards democracy of the previous sixty years into a direct democracy, in which the citizens assembled several time a month to vote directly on all governmental issues. As a populist leader, he established himself as unchallenged first citizen after arranging the ostracism (exile) of his conservative opponent Thucydides son of Melesias.

The financial underpinning of his programme for advancing Athens and the welfare of the majority of its citizens was the move the treasury of the anti-Persian confederation of Greek cities from the island of Delos to Athens. With this under control, Athens had the funds to indulge itself beyond its own means.

As a treaty with Persia in 449 BCE ended the Persian threat, the anti-Persian federation became academic. However as Athens had by far the greatest war fleet, the other Greek cities were forced to continue their contribution to the war chest, which enabled Athens to maintain naval superiority, enforce contributions, and not be too concerned how it spent the surplus funds. This surplus was largely directed by Pericles to having about half its citizens on the public payroll - rowing in the navy, jurymen, part of a large public service, on military service, and working in the beautification of Athens which he commissioned, including the buildings on the Acropolis. Athenians became addicted to this prosperity, and also promoted democratic parties in the confederate cities, which was effectively an empire of Athens.

Pericles also led Athens and its allies (empire) into a prolonged war with Sparta and its allies, confident that its unchallenged amphibious capability would allow it to win, however Pericles died shortly into what turned out to be a 27-year war which Athens eventually lost. Whether his strategy would have come out on top if he had lived on is unknowable: it fell into less capable hands, and its outcome broke Athens' pre-eminence in the Greek world, and lost its revenues from its ex-empire. Athens was thereafter at best a second-rate power, and eventually unable to arrest the emergence of Macedon to hegemony of Greece.

It is for an informed public. Otherwise you end up with leadership that try to get away with pushing bad agendas that the public does not want.

A country with a biased or captive media could try to push agendas like taking over an industry that the public doesn't want the Government to take over and then ration that industry. They tend to become more tyrannical.

Geography.

The US government is not a socialist government.

A socialist state is a state that is constitutionally dedicated to constructing a socialist economy, and is utilizing its resources toward that end.

Socialism is defined as a system where the means of production are either co-operatively owned or publicly-owned, and the economy is geared toward producing for use rather than for private profit.

The US government is not interested in building socialism or transcending capitalism, and would be incapable of doing such a task on its own even if it wanted to.

False

And where did you find that number? In fact the largest nation, China, has over a billion population and it's an autocracy...a dictatorship, Xi is their dictator. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia became a democracy but with the rise of Putin it's slowly reverting back to the autocracy that it once was as the Soviet Union. Myanmar just underwent a coup where the military ousted the democratic government, so that democracy has become a military dictatorship. And democratic principles are being eroded in Venezuela under Maduro's socialist concepts. Even in the USA democracy is challenged by those who refuse to cede to the will of the people by fair voting and instead call the election a fraud even though there is no evidence to support that allegation.

My point...I reject your claim that "...most people..." accept democracy. In fact democracies are challenged around the globe daily by would be dictators and extremists.

It is a democracy, in which the Government is voted into power by the people during a General Election for a set period (usually 4 - 5 years).
