What we have here little boys and girls, is called a representative form of government, not a democracy.
There is a really big difference. As big as your mom and dad's house!
We don't vote for everything, we vote for people to vote on things for us. We call those people representatives because they represent us.
Now your assignment tonight is to go home and study the differences so we can discuss this tomorrow with a little bit of intelligence.
Now put your heads on your desks for quiet time until the bell rings, your teacher has a hangover  |
Actually what we have is a representative form of democracy.
At least that is what the founding fathers wanted us to have.
The supreme power vested in the people and exercised by them (us) directly or indirectly through a system of representation through elections.
Just a few weeks ago I voted on a number of state and local issues directly .
