Democracy is a system by which the entire population or all eligible members of the state, typically through elected representatives. It is a government in which the American people choose leaders by voting. As a country we choose a person who we want to represent us as a state and as an entire country. Previously, we have established the meaning and understood the correct definition of being in a democratic government. We have to decide how to form the government. In the way we imagine it as a country. When we began to create a democracy in the 1800s. We only allow an idiotic number of people to take part in our government. From 1801 to 1815 we had two different types of political groups. These two political groups were called Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian. Jeffersonian prefers to have a small government. Hamiltonian favor in having a large system of government. Jeffersonians had a deep faith in ordinary people; like farmers. They want to lower the electoral qualifications. The Jeffersonian wanted to have a more democratic government and reduce the number of federal employees. In fact, the fact that federal employees would make the government favor them and not the hardest workers. The Jeffersonian was made up of artisans, shopkeepers, frontier settlers, and small farmers. This type of government was strong in the South and Southwest frontiers. The inhabitants of Hamilton were made up of manufacturers, merchants, professionals and were bankers. Their support came primarily from New England and along the Atlantic coast. They wanted to balance the economics of agricultural trade, finance and manufacturing. Furthermore, they favored the granting of public aid to trade, finance and manufacturing. They helped found a national bank and wanted… middle of paper… to become a national government. In 1920, the government passed the 19th Amendment, which states that women have the same rights as men. During the 1930s, democracy was a multi-level decision-making process: three levels were needed to make a decision. First, the decision needs to be voted on by a small group of delegates to see if it is worth moving to the next level. The next level has to do with the president. Where he will decide to approve the decision or veto it. Ultimately, the bill is sent to congress where they vote to pass or reject it. All these political parties have played a role in us having a democratic government. Where we, the people, can decide who can represent us as a nation. Where we have a say in things. No, one main branch of government can decide everything, or it can govern different things without a say.
