Here's Democracy!


Before the snow and wind came on Monday, we were having a riveting discussion about Democracy. We will now blog about Democracy and what our thoughts are pertaining to this form of government, which happens to be our form of government in the USA (At least something very similar). It is hard for us to imagine what it would be like living under a government of anything but Democracy. Sometimes I think we take our freedom for granted and don't appreciate what we have/where we live. Most, if not all, of us have always lived in a democratic nation. Let's begin to think about this fact and appreciate what we have by discussing Democracy and comparing it to other forms of governments that are in exsistence throughout the world. Let's gain an understanding of how good we have it. This is a multi-task post. You must do all tasks. In-Class blogging. You may do all 3 tasks in one comment or seperate comments.

Task 1: Answer the following Questions: (Use your Greek City-States Guided Notes)
*What is Democracy?
*Who Rules?
*What does the word 'democracy' actually mean?
*What happens if the Assembly gets too large? What did the Greeks do?

Task 2: Click on the Democracy Link "All Forms of Government." Choose one of the other forms of Government listed (Do not Choose anything involving Democracy). Tell me what the form of government you chose is and COMPARE it with Democracy. For example: tell me why democracy is better or why the other one is better. Tell me what it would be like living under each of the governments, etc. The point of this task is to introduce ourselves to other forms of government around the world and compare them with Democracy.

Task 3: (FUN) Click on the Democracy Link "Weird forms of Government." Look through the list on all the weird forms of government. Not all of these governemnts are actually in exsistence. Choose one from the list and argue your case as to why the government you chose is the best one. You may respond to other people's comments, of course.

Democracy is when the people rule. For example... the people vote for who is in power. The people rule Democracy means "demos - common people "kratos" - rule. The assemblies got to big and it was hard for everyone to find a time to meet. So the people decided that 500 people will be selected to serve as city council.

Anemocracy is ruled by the wind or by whim "act without thinking". It is the best form of government because wind is pretty powerful.

#1. Democracy is the rule by the people, which means that everyone has the right to vote and make decisions about laws and other things. The word democracy actually comes from the words 'demos' , meaning common people, and 'kratos', meaning rule. If the assembly got to large it would start to get very difficult to take votes. When the assemblys finnaly got too large the greeks limited the assemblys to 500 men.
#3. I think that infantocracy is the best type of government because it is the rule by infants. I believe that babies have a say in laws too.

Task 1: democracy is a form of government. In democracy the people rule which happens to be democracy's meaning "the rule of the people". If the Assembly gets to large they created a lottery system.

Task 1:
Democracy is a government "by the people". As in, a bunch of people would vote for something. Like vote on a desicion. A king or a queen ruled. Democracy means government ruled by the people. When the assembly got too large, they had too make it so only people older than eighteen could vote, or be a part of their Democracy.

Task 3:
Autoarchy is the government by one person. That person makes all the desicions without anyone else arguing with them. I think this is the best because its kind of like a president. You wouldn't have to worry about a bunch of people arguing and ending up not making a desicion. It would also be easier to make a desicion.

I chose Monarchy. It's a form of government that is ruled by a monarch. A monarch can be a sole ruler or a sovereign, such as a king or queen. Living in a monarchy would be a little different than a democracy. In America, for example, we are ruled by a president, congress, and sometimes, the military. Where as in a monarchy you are ruled by a monarch (with limited power) and the prime minister. In England (which is ruled by monarchy) you are basically ruled by the church.

Cottonarcy- government ruled by the people in the cotton trade; I think this one is awsome because I think it would be fun to learn the ways to trade cotton. If you learn how to trade cotton think of all the other things you could trade,(they would have to have coton in them of-course) Another reson I think cottonocracy would be cool is that it could all types of wool products. That I think cottonocracy would be awsome to have.

monarchy is my word. a government in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of a monarch who reigns over a state or territory, usually for life and by right; the monarch may be either a sole absolute ruler or a sovereign.my government
is democratic and it is a lot more free than monarchy.monarchy is one ruler and i don't think they get to choose.i think i like democracy more.

Dictatorship - a form of government in which a ruler or small clique wield absolute power (not restricted by a constitution or laws). Also, a system in which the citizens do not possess the right to choose their own leaders.

I think democracy is a better form of goverment because the people can vote for their leader. And in Dictatorship citizens do not get any say at all!!!!!

Oligarchy - a government in which control is exercised by a small group of individuals whose authority generally is based on wealth or power

Democracy and Oligarchy are similar because they are both by the people.

I would want to live under democracy.

republic: a representaive democracy in which the people's elected deputies not the people themselves. i chose this word becuse it is alot different then democracy.

Oligarchy is a government controlled by a group of individuals whos authority is based on wealth. I think that oligarchy is good because their isn't just one person that makes the big decisions their are a group of people that work on a problem. They might be more friendly or neighborly to one another since they are probably friends. I chose this one because I think that it would be fun to see who would be in charge and what they would do.

Hi i think that the anary government would be easier and better for everybody. Mine is the best choice because no one is in charge of anything except for themselves and their stuff and or children.

dictatorship is what i chose. it is when a form of goverment in which a ruler of small clique wield absoulte power. also a system in which the citizens do not possess the right to choose their own leaders. I chose this one becouse it sounds very intresting becouse one person or a clique ruled. it is diffrent from democracy becouse in democracy is ruled by a supreme power.
this is why i chose dictatorship.

Task 2

The goverment I chose Oligarchy which is a goverment in which control is exercised by a small group of individuals whose authority generally is based on wealth or power. One difference from democracy is their council like group is chosen by power and wealth. Where as in democracy it's decided by a vote. And not all by wealth and power.

task 3
The weird goverment i chose is iatrarchy which is governed by phisicans which if you don't know are docters. This would be good so that the goverment could be run and health would be more cared for by the goverment.

Constitutional - a government by or operating under an authoritative document (constitution) that sets forth the system of fundamental laws and principles that determines the nature, functions, and limits of that government.
the democracy could be different because they always have functions.

Task 2
Monarchy is where one person (monarch) pretty much controls everything for life. And if one monarch dies, the next person in line becomes monarch. I think that would suck because what if that monarch person was evil? Then he could do anything he or she wanted and you would have to go along with it or he or she will kill you. Probably. But if the monarch was a good person it probably wouldn't be so bad. I still think democracy is much better because then we can choose who our leader person is. In monarchy, the next person in the family is the next monarch and nobody could do anything about it. Democracy is a whole ton better.

Democracy is better becaues in democracy it is ruled by he people.
It would be unfair to live under Oligarchy.

I choose Ecclesiastical government. It is a government administrated by a church. It is kind of different than a democracy. It doesnt revolve around the people but just a church, run by pastors and ministers. I think democracy is a better from of government because3 it gives everyone a say, and not just pastors and a church. Living under this government would be very hard. The pastor may force much church things into our life, no matter how busy. That is Ecclestiastical, and I think Democracy owns that government. Just an opinion haha... C Ya L8r

Sultante:similar to monarchy, but a goverment in which the supreme pwer is in the hands of a sultan.

Democracy i think is way better because you don't just have one ultimate leader.
Ithink it would be pure agony living with Sultante.

2.Oligarchy - a government in which control is exercised by a small group of individuals whose authority generally is based on wealth or power.
I think oligarchy is better than democracy. Because oligarchy is controlled by people who are rich and powerful. Then again democracy and oligarchy are the same because we would still have a president and surpreme court and all those people. I think it would fun to live under a new goverment yet again i like democracy.

Task 2:
I think that Commonwealth is a realy good form of goverment. It seems good because all the people have a law, and they unite to reach a common goal. This is better than democracy because it has a common goal that every one in the State/Country trys to reach, and law and order still exists. another reason this one is better is that there is no one man leader. when this happens the leader may make people unhappy wich may lead to an unhappy ending, such as assasination.

Communism is a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and all goods are equally shared by the people(a classless society, everyone is equal). Communism is like Democracy because:

George Washington once said that Democracy is one of the worst forms of government. this is very true because people cause most depressions. such as the great depression. this happens because people buy things hey can't afford such as a boat,car,house,etc. so they take out a loan they also can not afford. this leads to jobs being lost, hoovervilles being established, people spending all their money on the stock market. etc. therefore, average people can not be trusted wih the enormous task of running the country. Socrates believed that a small group of wise men should run the country. We are not a Democracy, we are a Democratic republic which means that the people elect the leaders, and the leaders pass things by running it by the people first. unfortionately, that is slipping away.
