Democracy1

What is democracy and what do we do as citizens of a democracy? First of all, democracy has many different meanings. A few of them are: 1. A government of the people, for the people, by the people; 2. A form of government in which supreme power is vested in the people 3. A state of society characterized by formal equality of rights and privileges; and 4. Free and equal representation of people. As Representative John Lewis states “Democracy is an act. It is an act that requires participation, organization and dedication to the highest principles.” I think that John Lewis feels that we as the people of a democracy must express our opinions and vote for the person we want to govern our country. I agree with John Lewis that you should express how you feel.
