Democracy is Dead
Democracy is defined typically as, government by the people. That government is implemented and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives. With the peaceful transfer of power and checks and balances implemented into the American constitution, the ideals of democracy were to be what made the United States the beacon of freedom it so desired to be. The democracy concept, theoretically, was implemented by individuals as far back as the hunter-gatherer age. However, the initiation of the concept into statehood came about during the 6th century in Athens, Greece. In Greek, the term democracy derives from the term dēmokratia which literally translates to “rule by the people”. This was enacted in the Greek city-states to denounce the previous political system derived in the 5th century BCE that blanketed society at the time. This new style of governmental reform was to be used by individual city-states or tribes at the time because the concept was simple enough to implement into what would be called “direct-democracy”.
