Democracy

In a Democracy the supreme power is retained by the people. People vote on the actions they want their government to take, such as new taxes, health care or representatives.

People can run for office and get elected to form part of the government. Such as the President, vice president, state representatives and other various positions.

In a democracy, people usually elect representatives. In the USA, each state has 2 Congressmen or Congresswomen and the state gets another set of representatives for the amount of people in their state. For example, the State of texas gets more State Representatives than oregon because Texas is more populated than the state of Oregon.

Democracy allows you to vote and elect representatives to form the government.
