Democracy is Mob rule, which means the majority can override the rights of the minority. The United States was formed as a Constitutional Republic which protects individual liberty. Its minority rule. Individual liberty is Freedom. Too bad the actual form of government we have is tyranny. This propaganda is a good example of that.
"Senate," "Justice," "Liberty" these describe the Pagan Greek and Roman concepts, all of these, philosophy, are Pagan to the, core . The concept of Democracy came from the Pagan Greeks . Nowhere in the Declaration of Independence or the U.S. Constitution does it mention ,Democracy. Throughout history, America has never been a true Democracy, decisions always lay and made , in the hand of a few , rich people, which is known as an "oligarchy"
Is this the State department that supported contras, Islamic fundamentalism, and many dictators across the world? Not that they something inherently wrong with as one in the best interest of our country( well Islamic terrorism really bite us back in the end). But this State Department let stand up for democracy is completely ironic propaganda. Look at the exams you take to for a job, they asks you to go against your morals and believes on freedom if a another country undermines are interest
Jesus was crucified in a democratic procedure. People decided to free a bandit Barabbas instead of him. This tells you a lot about the quality of democracy and opinion of the masses.
The United States is not a Democracy, please go back to school and try again. Fail!
This country is a constitutional republic. The founding fathers thought Democracy was the worst form of government. "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on whats for dinner" Ben Franklin.
The word Democracy comes from two Greek words. Demos - meaning people and Kratein - meaning to rule, and means the rule of the people or majority rule.
Every democracy eventually fails due to greed, graft, or fraud. The founders setup the US constitutional republic for many reasons. One it is suppose to limit the power of the government. It separates government into 3 branches (legislative, judical, executive). We have a government by the rule of law, not man as our founders intended. the ultimate check and balance against the government is its citizens right to bear arms.....
In a democracy the mob rules by a direct vote,so if a dictator arises in California and every Californian votes for him, there u go, new president. With this mob rule eventually the poor and middle class will rule and get payback to the rich and vote themselves money, benefits, etc. A pure democracy is the exact opposite of an oligarchy.
Don't get me wrong a constittional republic can fail....We are watching it happen now, unless more voters rise up and the states exercise their true power
I couldn't vote for any of these for none of these explained what really is Democracy. What they explained was that we are Democracy, and we are not. We are the people who have a form of government. This form of government is a Constitutional Republic. Why do so many people say we are a Democracy?
Hai it's good to be know that u have been selected from Nepal for Democracy video challenge. Hope so u'll win it...............U' have created a good video...shreee....
Why aren't videos on this site captioned (for Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons) and audio-described (for blind and vision-impaired persons)? How can there be democracy when you exclude such a huge number of people? Democracy, like "diversity," isn't just for or about the impoverished or persons of color.
@WorcesterYid Thanks for the welcome reminder! You're absolutely right that the visually and hearing impaired deserve the same access to quality products as the rest of the online community. We'll set some time aside soon to try to add the option so long as we can do so without loosing our current stats.
I will win because I live in NYC and have been a crime scene / fire rescue cameraman for the NYC newspapers for 30 years.
The corruption I've seen rivals any country. I'm aware of N. Korea, Russia and Burma. The mayor just bought himself an illegal 3rd term, despite the people twice voting against it.
The problem here is nobody knows how corrupt it is, they keep repeating the mantra of the USA is the seat of democracy.
@RadioReporter01 Democracy is:NOT IN ETHIOPIA either. My vid would say WHAT IS DEMOCRACY?WELL IT SURE AS HELL AIN'T A TOTALITARIAN ONE PARTY STATE THAT STIFLES ITS PRESS-TERRORISES THE ELECTORATE, KEEPS OPPOSITION LEADERS IN JAIL AND HAS THE SAME LEADER FOR 20 YEARS..and counting. But I can say this because unlike journalists and media people from Ethiopia. I don't have to worry about arrest imprisonment and torcher. ALL media in Ethiopia is controlled by the state, including this entry.
Noone has ever described Democracy better than Benjamin Franklin who said " Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on whats for dinner"
