Hi guys, Should our roles in a democracy be limited to elections only? |

1. Government by the people; that form of government in which the sovereign power resides in the people as a whole, and is exercised either directly by them (as in the small republics of antiquity) or by officers elected by them. In mod. use often more vaguely denoting a social state in which all have equal rights, without hereditary or arbitrary differences of rank or privilege. b. A state or community in which the government is vested in the people as a whole. We are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not of the few. 2. That class of the people which has no hereditary or special rank or privilege; the common people (in reference to their political power). These are all the definitions of democracy. Therefore our role is employing a government that will woek for us. If we employ someone that is not up to par it is our duty and legal right to terminate them. |
