Democracy+extended+response

Democracy… what does that mean? Democracy is an adjective that describes a country. A country where everybody has the right to vote. Democracy is of the people, for the people, and by the people. John Lewis says that “Democracy is an act. It is an act that requires participation, organization and dedication to the highest principles.” I agree. I believe that as a citizen of a democracy, we must use our rights and speak up for what we think is right and argue what we think is wrong. For instance, we get to vote for president. We should be organized and know which candidate is the best; we should be dedicated to making this country better. And like John Lewis says, “Democracy is a series of actions that require us to continuously verify our commitment to civil rights and social justice at every challenge.”
