It is said the we live in the greatest country with the most powerful government in the world; government ruled by the people a "democracy". Democracy to me means that the people of America are to help in making decisions in which change our every day life. Like in ancient Greece were the people would gather and make new laws and discuss how money was to be spent and many other everyday things like roads and taxes. But as you can tell things cant and don't happen that way any more. There are just to many people to gather everyone together and discuss what we want to happen.
