I'm having trouble writing the introduction to my book. I don't know how to start it. It's supposed to go into detail about the corruption in the United States government. It is supposed to talk about the idea of democracy being an illusion. And how the Roman Catholic Church is apparently loosing it's grip on politics, which leads to rebellion.
How should I say that?

Surely if you intend to write such a heavy book you can write an introduction. A prologue might suffice, however, which is usually a key scene or event in the book.
If this piece of work is fiction then begin with action in Chapter One and keep your backstory to a minimum. But if this book is non-fiction you should get all your facts straight about the information you intend to explain and make your case strong. Should this reach the publication stage, someone will come back on you seeking answers or lawful recovery.

Okay, from your question, I am guessing that this is a plot-based book you are writing. As such you need to decide if you want to start of with a scene that leads into the main characters or the main plot.
You could, since you are building up to a rebellion, start off with something innocuous like a riot breaking out. It seems small and of course main characters would not need to be involved, but it would show the reader that one small lighting of the bigger fire to come, so to speak.

Yeah, you are right. Perhaps you should read our constitution.
"SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE"
Here's a good beginning for you: "I have decided to write this book because I don't have a mind of my own and I don't think anyone else should have one either. "

democracy ,a word but what does it mean to each one of us is not the matter but what the results and the effects that happen because of its absence are the most important matter.

Try a series of declarative sentences.
