  1. I think democracy is the best form of goverment.I thought of that because democracy is almost like majority because it lets people do things.Also that it made people be a citizen.It made people participate with the goverment.Democracy was people ruled over.That is why democracy is the best form of goverment.

  2. Democracy is a form of goverment, that people rule themeselves. I think that this form of goverment is not very good. I got a reason to support it, when people rule themeselve people would want to do their own rules in their way, which is bad because when people control their own way, they're will be chaos. Because everyone thinks diffrent. For example like a prisoner would think stealing ca ndy from a baby is good, but in real life it is cruel and mean. Thats why i think democracy is a bad way of goverment.

  6. Democracy is the best form of goverment for many reasons.One reason is that each citizen gets a chance to vote and that is fair.People get to deside on what affects their society.Not just one small group of people making the decisions like an oligarchy.Democracy people have more freedom. So this is why democray is the best form of goverment.

  9. Democracy is the best form of government. For example with democracy, many people have the opportunity to vote. Another example is that with democracy, people have a say in government. This makes it more unbiased when people are treated equally. In places like Egpyt and Mesopotamia they had things like social pyramids. People were treated differently based on their status. Due to these reasons, democracy is the best form of government.

  11. I believe that the democracy is a good form of goverenment because it is one where they rule themselves and have all citizens vote to decide who the president should be. Plus there re two types of goverment-democracy and republic. Those two goverments are very helpful and give us freedom of speech.so tht is why the two re very different fromm each other.That is how the democracy is different than the republic.

  12. Democracy is the best form of goverment in many ways.Democracy is a type of goverment in which people rule themselves.For example,Solon created laws for people that were less harsh.Those laws gave people rights.Under those laws it made people citizens.Since they had laws they were able to speek their mind and give ideas .In cunclusion,democracy is the best form of power.Melissa Reyes ND

  14. I think that democrocy is a really great idea for a goverment.Democrocy is agreat idea because the goverment looks at how they treat them selves.When democracy is done it is when people rule themselves. For the people it is not harsh because they can do what they want.It is always the goverments choice if or if not to do democracy.It would be great for democracy but we can not do it.

  15. Dempocracy is the best form of goverment. It is the best form of goverment because people rule themselves. It makes people express their opionion how ever they want. They can say that they dont like the king and they nwont get punished. People need this type of govermant because it is FAIR. In conclusion democracy is the best form of goverment.

  16. Democracy is the best form of government.One reason to prove why it's the best is beacause "non-aristocats" get to vote.They get to vote for who's in charge and laws to.Another reasooon why it's the best form of government is beacause it makes it fair,beacause they get to vote for who they want.They just don't geta leader or a law past without the people saying what they think.

  17. Democracy is the most important form of goverment. The reason is because it gave every one a voice. The way they did that is because before, only high class people could vote. However after democracy even the lower class could vote. Another reason why democracy was the best form of goverment because other people could be a leader. The reason is because before only people who took over would rule.This is why democracy is the most important form of goverment.

  18. I believe that democracy is the best form of government. Democracy is the best form of government because it allows the public to vote for what they believe in. The public/citizens were able to vote for what they wanted and everyone was able to agree or disagree in the laws that were in the making. There was no tyrant or single ruler to decide what they wanted. Every person was a part of the democracy so no one was left out and no one was hated. This is why i believe that democracy was a good form of government.

  19. Democracy is the best form of governement. democracy has fairness. Fairness is important because you can be safe & repsected. Also, democracy lets you be your own boss. That means that you can have your own rules but they can only be good & being your own boss is good because you can be yourself & you won't have to talk some talk from other people. Democracy is very loyal. In the best term of government Democracy is the best.

  20. I think democracy is the best form of government.It allows many people to participate. It can be fair for people to vote. They vote for who they think would make the best government. Also so they can be able to be a good government. Therefore, the greeks were good at having briliant leaders such as pericles. As one can see, democracy is the best form of government.

    Democracy is imporortant it gives people a longer live. Other laws would end with having you killed. Also it is because it gives you chances. Usally they let anyone be king. Also democacy isnt so strict to people. Which is diffrent from Dracos law. These are how democracy is important.

  26. Democracy is the best form of government in my opinion. It's the best option because it allows all citizens to participate in the voting. If we were not in a democracy there would be tyrants a lot. You cannot just decide on your own opinion. You can't because you aren't the only person living in that part of the country or anywhere else.For example if you are debating on a topic you can't have 1 or 2 people because it wouldn't be fair you need more people.This is why democracy is the best form of government to have.

  30. Democracy is a good way of government because.For example you get to vote on your own rights.You can have different leaders.Democracy is the best way,becuase if we didn't have rules everything would be crazy,and will have chaos.Thats why we need laws to prevent from happening like chaos.We all have to agree in laws,because if we did not we will all disagree.

  38. I believe that democracy is the best form of government. Democracy gives everyone a chance to vote and to be equal. It also lets people speak their minds freely. Also democracy lets people be a citizen and participate. A democracy lets everyone decide what goes on in a community instead of a small group of people. Democracy is also better because people get a chance to speak and people will agree more with the system because it goes with a majority of people. Even though some people dont get what they want it is fair for everyone who voted. That is why the best form of government is a democracy.

  39. I think yes because democracy makes you think a lot. The word means a lot to the people in their comunnity. Citezens, including me, think democracy is a rule. A type of general rule that adds up to all laws the government made. Without Democracy, there is no laws for people to follow. Without laws, there is no safe comunnity for people to live in. So yes, I do think Democracy is a form of governmentin the United States of America.

  42. There are many types of ways to run a goverment, but i believe the bestone is a democracy. I believe this because in a democracy citizens have the right to vote/change laws and speak to goverment officials. Sice the citizens have the right to vote they can keep,get rid of,and change laws. Also because they can speak to goverment officaials we choose the way our goverment runs. That is why i believe a democracy is the best form of a goverement

  48. In government, I believe that democracy is the best form of government in Ancient Greece. I beleive this because democracy gave people some power in government. The people who could vote were only men and they were called citizens. The citizens could vote on who they wanted to rule over Greece. For example, if there was two people who wanted to rule and one was going to be an noneffective leader, the other man would have the most votes and rule over Greece. In conclusion, I believe that democracy is the best form of government.

  49. I believe that democracy is the best form of government. A democracy lets people rule themselves by voting on differnt laws. Different forms of democracy, like oligarchy and tyranny, do not let people vote unless they are aristocrats. A democracy lets it's citizens vote because they are part of their government. Citizens are able to vote on laws that can affect their lives by making them easier or harder. Other democracies vote on laws that are made by aristocrats and only they can vote and not other people. Democracy is more fair with it's people so it makes it the best form of democracy.

  51. I think democracy is the best form of goverment because of many reasons. First of all in a democracy people are able to vote and get to say their opinions towards a new set of laws. Also everyone who is a citizen can participate. In addition, unlike oligarchy its not dominated by the desicions of nobles. That is why democracy is the best form of goverment.

  59. Democracy is the best form of government because of different things. One reason democracy is the best form of government is because it gives the citizens a chance to vote. with oligarchy people don't get to vote the rule is because of rich and noble.Another form of government that doesn't give the citizens a chance to vote is tyranny. Tyranny is the form of rule by force and is a ruler with harsh use of power. Out of all of these forms of governments democracy is the best form because it gives the citizens a chance to vote for their ruler. That is why democracy is the best form of government.

  61. Democracy is the best form of government for many reasons. One reason is because it provides a say for everyone to agree or disagree to laws and share their opinions. Secondly, Democracy is a better way to govern whole countries. It is better because in the past the other forms of governing was Oligarchy and tyranny which didn't work well for the Athens. Oligarchy was a government in which only a few people had power. Tyranny was when a leader who held power through the use of power. Overall, Democracy is the best way to govern a country, state and cities all through out the U.S.

  63. Democracy is a form of government, that people rule themselves. I think that this form of government is not very good. For example, when people rule themselves people would want make their own rules, which is bad because when people control themselves they're will be chaos. Because everyone thinks different. For example, unfair laws can create an unfair living. Thats why I think democracy is a bad way of government.
