Defining Democracy

Democracy is a system of government in which everyone has a say. In America today we use democracy. This means we all have a say about political decisions like who our president is. I believe this is the best and fairest system of government. This also is a nice system because the candidate that has the most votes by the people wins the race. The majority of the people determine certain decisions. In the 1800s they were very democratic. For example they had the right to vote on different things. They had the opportunity to vote for the president but women didn't have voting rights like men did which isn't fair. They gave the people a day and that's what I believe is most important.
