The main and most important feature of democracy is:- Government by the people.\nSounds really good doesn't it?\nDoes it really exist? I don't think so only in name, the only time 'the people' have a choice is during elections for public office, you will vote for whoever you think will represent your particular station in life and your personal standards. Then what happens when your rep' gets elected? \nDo you then get to have a choice in whatever your rep' is going to vote for on your behalf? or will your rep' just do as he is told by his leaders.\nBefore I start getting mail telling me I must be a 'commie B' I am not trying to advocate a move away from democracy to any other system, but rather a big move towards more democracy, namely to get rid of our reps' that are obviously not conforming to the way we 'the people' want things to be done.\nI don't mean we should wait until their full term of office is completed, I mean have a method of getting rid of them almost immediately!   \nCould this be the reason that we don't have more referendums?

Democratic. In a republic you have very little say in the laws that are passed and repealed, and the only things you basically vote on are the representatives. A federal government takes power away from the states and by extension the people, and as such is an unwanted unitary force. A democratic government means that the people vote on passing, amending, and repealing laws. For an example of the one true democracy on this planet, take a look at Switzerland.

Things get done quickly and relatively efficiently without the need to vote on things.  Since all of the power is with one person, if the one person is good, then things will be very good.  Of course, there's the downside if the one person isn't that great.

Im also studying for my PSCI fianl, local governement is closer because it focuses on a smaller porcentage of people and is better able to meet their needs, on the other hand, federal is national and it is harder to be close to the people in this sense.

The way it doesnt perform for the people.\n Philosophical contributins have addressed the dilemmas and opportunities facing Canada, Australia and Europe, to mention just a couple of areas where federal arrangements are seen as interesting solutions to accommodating differences among populations divided by ethnic or cultural cleavages yet seeking a common political order.\n Within the realm of what is considered normal in government, It serves itself with disregard to the benefits it should be giving to the public, rather, serving it's own existence.\nHence, its self fulfilling.

The major advantages are that there an unlimited number of members allowed, there is generally no personal liability of the members, the entity is not taxed (profits and losses are passed through to the members), ease in filing with the states, and it is generally run through a Manager, rather than a board of directors (great for small companies or one that you wish to be similar to a closely-held corporation)

In a confederation, each unit has its own government & makes its own laws and is pretty much an independant unit. The purpose of the confederation is for things it would be difficult for the individual units on their own, like defend itself. The powers of the group are limited, and must be agreed upon by the members. The European Union is a form of confederation; they each maintain independant governments, but band together for economic common interests and defense.

1. It slows things down and makes enacting laws innefficient.\n\n2. It tracks and records events related to laws being enacted.\n\n3. All bureaucracies grow. Never in history have they ever gotten smaller.\n\n4. They employ mostly low performing life-long staff that work at efficiency rates that are typically 2x - 10x less than private enterprise.

A representative government has proven itself to be the best form of government.  No arguing that.  The US also has capitalism going for it.

The people have the constitutional right to change the government by voting in local and national elections.\n\nIf you mean change the form of government, say from a Republic to a monarchy, for example, no, that isn't in there.

There shouldn't be. The Central Government should be respopnsible for ensuring your safety, health and education. Everything else is more effectively dealt with at a local and/or state level.\n\nA strong central government is meant to deal with large issues. Unfortunately, most central governments now micr-manage the minutae of your day-to-day life. That isn't how the founders of democracy envisioned it. Fortunately, democracy allows for the evolution of government. It will mutate to fit our needs.\n\nAs Winston Churchill said, "Democracy is the worst form of government...except all the others that have been tried from time to time."

You can run for any office, save the Presidency. That is one of the perks for being an American citizen
