Democracy

Democracies were invented by people who were looking for someone to rule them. Over the years these democracies have changed a lot. There are many types of democracies. Some are a good fit in certain situations, but others would not fit those situations whatsoever. For example the United States could not have a direct democracy because there are entirely too many people to have them involved in every aspect of our government. It would be way too expensive to poll everyone on everything at question. That is why we have a representative democracy. Even our representative democracy doesn’t work perfectly. In North Dakota we get to choose a senator, but even if his vote in senate reflects what the people of North Dakota want the most we may not get it if he is outvoted by senators from other states.
