Answer 3

Definitely an F because we are a Republic not a Democracy.

Answer 4

Well to be technical we are not supposed to be a Democracy , we are supposed to be a Republic.

As the best people don't run or get elected when they do run , as all the people that get elected ignore the Constitution, as we always get lame choices to vote for , I would give it and F!

Answer 5

I think the fact that we can freely write about things in a public forum would give it an A. But I know for a fact that there are socialist countries fairing far better on their freedoms than we are because of the lack of control and greed-so I give our country a C+

Answer 6

There is the bias that people vote in the politicians so their rule goes. When in reality the politicians subject people to the worst forms of penalty without going to the people first and asking if this is fair.
Law should be like jury duty. So many hundred thousand citizens being required to review legal decisions imposed on a criminal, and state if it fits with the standards of reality or if there is something that person should do that would help them to better benefit from restitution. The hundreds of thousands are required because the people's number count has to be that high to consider their decisions valid, and there has to be so many various aged african males and females, so many various aged caucasian males and females, so many various aged asian males and females and so many various aged first nation males and females. This way the decision will not be gender, age or race biased.

For instance, young male Conklin Bonoba gets arrested for 'being drunk in a public place'. He goes to court, judge imposes a time served for the seven days he spent in jail because it was a first offence of any kind, and probation of one year to keep community peace, not to drink alcohol, and refrain from drugs and weapons. He is released with his father's assurity.

Two hundred thousand reveiwers decide Conklinn's seven days was too many and he should be paid remuneration fees by the court of two hundred dollars.
They decide that Conklin was only walking home from the bar after five drinks, was minding his business quietly and if not stopped by cops he would have been left alone because he was going straight home. The two hundred thousand citizens on jury duty decide he is not guilty by majority, and vote for his probation terms to be dropped from his name due to not being applicable.
This is Democracy of the people's vote and not of politicians.

On the other hand, Gander Makope is arrested for the same violation but instead of going straight home silently and behaved, he was waving at cars and jumping in excitment if they honk their horn. Cops seen him and arrested him for 'being drunk in a public place'. The citizens decide that since he was on his way home drunk he was ok and the charge should be lessened to causing rukus while drunk, which would give him the probation of half a year because he was on his way home and had served seven days in jail already. And while the two hundred thousand citizens decided by majority that Gander was in no weapons violation, or drugs violation, they decided to have the weapons and drug conditions dropped from his half a year probation and from his name.
Gander would serve a half year probation of keeping community peace and refraining from alcohol.

This is peoples democracy, and not politicians.

Answer 7

A democracy gets what it asks for.

Answer 8

B-

Money is the big problem. Our lawmakers are beholden to those who fund their campaigns. Lobbyist are very instrumental in writing laws for their clients, not the country's, benefit.

Additionally, there is too much soundbite and smearing in campaigns. We rarely deal with the real issue in an intelligent manner. (That would be dangerous because the opposition would turn it around and use it against you.)

Answer 9

We are a Democratic Republic. Majority elects, rights provided by the Judicatory branch.

Both aspects of our Democratic Republic are currently failing..

Answer 10

D. You need money to run in this country, and you really need to join one of two parties because those two parties have skewed the election laws in their favor. The electoral college thing is beyond ridiculous.
