It is derived from the Greek it means"Rules from the people". Democracy is important because in the city's and the state's will go crazy and horrible.

Democracy comes from the Greek that means "Rules for the people". Democracy is your rights. A while back in Russia communism,political people made your choices for you. they would tell you how much you could buy,earn,spend.

Democracy is important because we have the Bill of Rights. These rights give us the freedom of choice and speech,without these rights we would not have a democracy.

Americans would have very little rights without a democracy because the big wigs would have control of almost everything you do like the type of car you drive your job what you earn and what you spend. So that is what a democracy is.

Daniel-A democracy is the free will that we lucky Amaricans have. for example: freedom of speech, our right to pick who we think in our opinion who is qualified for president of our countrey. And you fi you ended up born on the streets when your little you may become the worlds richest person ever, and that goe's for the opisite too. And if you hopefully have a fake copy fo the Declaration of Indapendince you could maybe try and read the script. Except, i'm not sure if they had that word back then, but i'm positive that they got the word democracy from a greek word witch means free prople.
If Amarica didn't have a democracy we will have a dictator we wouldn't be a country. Also, we might still be controlled by the British still. I'm sure that America wouldn't be communist like Russia, Cuba and China.

Imagine America, with no pride, no opinions and nothing worth fighting for! There will be many rebelious people who migh tbe executed for being against the government. We will be worse than Cuba! Now you understand what a democracy is. Hopefull, you could pass it on and help others learn why a democracy is importnat.

Jacob-A democracy is a government of people that were elected by the citizans of the country. It is important because of several things. The first one is that anyone over 35 years old and born in the U.S. can run. (The 2 main parties are:Republican and demcractic parties.) The second reason to have a democracy is no one person can make all the rules. If this contry were not a democracy we would have no freedom of the press and we would only see on T.V. what the rulers wanted you to see.

If there was no democracy in America, America wouldn't have the freedom to have, what kind of a goverment they want. We wouldn't beable to choose, what the goverment would have to do and what people would have the previlegesto run America's goverment. Which is a really huge previlege.

Also we have a democracy. A democracy is the ability to vote, and understand the rights and responsabillitys.

A democracy is important to have because if we did'nthave a democracy we would'nt chose who is going to be are leader! We would have to live with whoever we get elected or chosen.

If americ was not a democracy we would not have the abbility to vote! Also life would be very demanding because we would have to listen and do what areruler tells us to do.

We have tree branches of goverment. They are LEGISLATIVE, JUDJICAL and EXECCUSIVE! Legislative is about about creating laws!!! Judical is the athority to aprove veto. Execucive is about declaring laws and resolving conflicts.

Our 2008 canidets are Barock Obama and Joe Biden(democratic)and John MaCain and Sahra Palin(repuplic). Ihope this election is a HITE!!!!!

A democracy is about fredom and justice and of how people are free to do events like voting of who would be our president. It is about understanding our ourriats and responsabilaty. It is because of our human rights,that is what democracy means.

Democracy is important because it is a part of fredom. Also,it is important because it lets people have a choice of what they may want.In addition,it is that we get to not get bossed around that much by the goverment or president that much.

If america had no democracy then it would be like a monster coming to earth or a meteor falling. Also, no one would be able to make choice. In addition, no one would have rights or fredom. No one be able to vote for president.

The word Democracy comes from the greek word 'dimokratia'.This means 'popular goverment'. There are three branches of goverment. The first branch is legislative. Legislative is the congress. The second is judical.Judical is the supreme court and the fedral courts. The third branch is is exective. Exective is all different goverment workers make sure laws are followed.


Democracy gives people freedom of speech ,freedom of the press,and
freedom to vote. Election is when every four years the people of the U.S.A vote for their favorite canidate to be elected. If you are elected you need to at least have two hundred seventy votes. The running canidates make ads in newspapers ,posters, and commercials to be elected.You also have to be thirty-five years or older to run for president.

Democracy is important because it lets newspapers and reporters inform the public without issues.
If America wasn't a democracy then people would not be able to vote ,express their ideas against the goverment ,or practice their favorite relgion. Political parties are when Democratic and Republican get into political organization and political power with the goverment.

Voting is a group of people to make a d the ecision or an opinion on the following subject. The voting day is mainly on the first Tuesday of November.

A democracy is a goverment that is professed to be represenative. It first started in ancient Greese. You had to own land or a house to vote. You also had to be a athenian and couldn't be a slave to vote.

Democracy is imporant becouse, it means you have a say in how to run your country.

If there wasn't a democracy we wouldn't be able to vote,and without voting we could easily be overruled by a king or queen! Also if we where ruled by a king or queen theres always a chance of becoming slaves! We wouldn't have any rights whatsoever! It would be madness! But we do have the right to vote becouse we have a democracy!

Oh by the way,Obama is a democrat and Macain is republican. Those are the two major political partys!

Right now it is Obama and John McCain and we are voting because we have the democracy to vote. And thats why we are voting for Obama.

If we didn't have democracy then that means that we would not have nobody to be watching our state, making good deicions to help his or her people so we would have to be on our own.

Democracy is us. Democracy is us as citizens because we are allowed to pick what we want for our country. Like the president. We vote for the president we want! We have the the power to share our expressions and thoughts. Power to what house we want,education,our feelings,to live our lifes how we want to,human rights, to be free,to have equal rights,and to have our choice when voting. Democracy lets citizens enjoy freedom and rights.


Democracy is important because it's useful to give us the attention we deserve as citizens. The democracy helps create values and prierities by means of the public opened debate and the responsible participation. The citezens have the opportunity to act reciprocally,to compare notes,to debate matters and be understood (included) mutually.



If we didnt have democracy we will be afraid to express ourself and share what you really feel. Maybe we wouldn't know how being free is like. We will have to live under a blanket of instructions and we will not have the opportunity to say no to what the president or leader is saying. We won't have the power to choose free without other people telling you what to choose. We will always say yes to everything,even though we feel dissapointed to agree with the president or leader.

Democrcy is a greek word that means "rule by the people". that means that every single person has a say in what happens.Each person has to be 18 years old or olderto vote.You are not allowed to vote if you havecommited a crime.Democracy is where citizens debate and voteon every issue. In democracy you have many rights and freedom.
Democracy keeps peace amoung all people throughout the country . If we didn't have democrcy a lot of people would be treated unfair. the leaders of democracy keep the people prepared to handle any bad things that may be happening. A democracy is important because it bindes the country together to stand united against other countrys.
Americans would not have the freedom like we have now with out democracy. Like we could not be able to travel where you wanted to. You could not also be able to go to college or worship where you do now. You wouldn't be able to vote for your leader either.

The United States of America is a land of democracy. Democracy is a type of government body that includes the president, vice president, and the members of the congress. However, the people have a voice in choosing the best person for the job. Every four years, the people get to vote for a new president.

Voting for a president is one of the most important decision in a preson's life. The voter has to be at least eight-teen years old, a U.S. citizen, and registerd. People who don't vote will lose their chance of voicing their opinions on how the country is run. For example, if you were a republican, and you didn't vote, and the democratic president won, you would have to follow the rules of the democratic persident. In addition to voting for the leader of our country, there are issues that affect your lives. Everyone is encouraged to vote.

Many countries do not believe in democracy. They are either ruled by the king, queen, or by communism. America would be chaos without democracy by having torn up houses, littering in the streets, and global warming. We are fortunate to have democracy in this country. The govnment that works for the people.

Democracy is a greece word that means rule of the people.It also means that everyone has a right to vote.but not any one can vote like you have to be 18 years old,a resident in the state you live in,and have to be a citizen of the country you live in to.So it's not just walking up and sayig i'm here to vote you have to do all the things that I said before.

democracy is importat because everyone should have a say in how the goverment runs.Democrcy lets everyone say if they want or don't want a new law or a new president.

America would not be a "free country" without democracy.We wuold have one emporer or a king and queen and we would be a sad country .The taxes would bve outragous,gas would be out of this world expensive,the percentige of homeless people would go sky high and american people would be distroyed.

Cayley-

An example of a democracy is America. A democracy is when the people come together and vote on what they want and believe. If a country is a democracy they decide who they want for the goverment,and not every country is a democracy. there are many qualifications to become a president. A few of the major ones are you have to be thirth-five or older. Another is you have to be a naturlized citizen meaning you were born in America you are American or your parents are both American. That is a little bit about democracy.

This is why democracy is important. Democracy is important because democracy is what runs our country. It is also important because if we didn't have democracy we wouldn't have the freedom that we have today. Another reason why it is important is because we have a say in how the country is run. It is also important because we have the chane to vote, we have say in the government. not many countries have a say in what their government does. They just have to obey or they can go to jail. I think everybody in America should be thankful for having a democracy country. That is why democracy is important.


This is what America would be like if we weren't a democracy. If America wasn't a democracy, we would be under a different form of government. If we were under a different form of government, we wouldn't have the freedom or the rights that we have today. Soome people aren't thankful for having a democracy country. They aren't thankful because maybe they were born in America and they were used to being able to vote. They don't understand that their are many poeple out there who don't have a say in their government. I think America should be thankful for having a democracy country.

Democracyis a form of government in wich power is with the people,either directly or through elected representatives. Democracy started at Greece. In a democracy majoraty is in charge. In some places,democracy is based on the philosophical principle of equal rights. In political therey,democracy describes a little number ofrelated forms of government and also a political pholosiphy. Since World War, democracy has approved widespread acceptance. The United Nations has declared September 15 International Day of Democracy.

Democracy is important beacause it as been part of life for a long time. When you are at the election booth it will make you think about great presedents like George Washington and Aberham Lincoln. That your vote could change America. Then your vote could make this person into on eo fthose famous presidents. And it makes you think about all these people who used democracy. Your one vote change the whole country. That is why democracy is important.

If America was not a democracy it would be chaos. I mean, think about it. If one person had to pick who was president, a baby could be our president or someone coul dbe president who just moved here from China. One toy doll could be $9 million dollars. The Dollar Tree would turn into the Thousand-Dollar Tree. That is what America would be like if we didn't have democracy.

A democracy is "goverment by the people in which Supreme Power is vested in the peo[ple and exercised directly by them or by their agents under a free electoral system." In phrase Abraham Lincon said democracy is a goverment of the people, for the people, and by the people.

Democracy is important because democracy concepts are important to ciizens of a state. it gives the citizen a voice and a chance to make changes and say how their state shoud be run. If a citizen has an issue which they would like resolved, then somebody has to listen to their views, unless that person is spreading unfouned rumors desighned to tranish somebodies reputation, then they are free to say what they want about their leader.

Without a democracy no ones voice will be herd. they would ever get a chance to choose who they would like to be their next presidant. Some citizens would not even get to to do the great things they would like to do as the next presidant.All i want to say abut democracy is "What ever they do in democracy is perfect and I'm glad to have democracy in the world"!

In the dictionary definition, democray'' is goverment by the people in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by there elected agents under a free electoral system. ''In the phrase of Abraham lincoln democray is a goverment''of the people,by the people, and for the people.

Democraycon concepls are important to citizens of a state. It gives the citizens a voice, and the chance to make changes to how thier state is run.

America would be like a bad country
it would be like a peice of junk because there would be no rules and people will be littering so that is why america would be like if there was not a democray.

A democracy is a country ruled by everyone who lives in the country.
The people of a demacracy can vote for their leader.


It's important because everyone can decide how the country should work.


If America wasn't a demoacracy we couldn't vote, everyone couldn't have the same rights, we wouldn't be able to make changes by voting, the government would tell us what to do,we wouldn't be able to tell the presedent what to do.

Demacracy is A way of governing in wich the people choose their leaders in elections.

Democracy is important because if we didn't have it, kids would be able to vote, and if kids were able to vote,we would only vote for the person that our parents are voting for, not knowing anything about the person that we have just chose.

If America didn't have democracy,we would probably have a person under 35 years old for president, kids would be able to vote, and everything would go wrong.

A Democracy in a land is a supreme power ruled by the people or a goverment ruled by people. Democracy means "ruled by the people.

A democracy is important because with, it the citizens can have a say in what happens. Without it a democracy, the land would a bad place and would need a dictator and the people wouldn't have a say in anything!

America without a democracy would be total chaos! We would have a evil dictator like Cuba's dictator Fidel Castro, and America would be one of the pooriest countries on
Earth. But luckily, we have a democracy and a president with a Judicial Branch, Legislative Branch, and the Executive Branch.

So I'm happy about that and you should be too! God Bless America!

Democracy is ruuled by the poeple .Only citzens get to vote. Declaration of indepednt said that the U.S.A was free from the British.

Democracy is important because democracy provided laws.First ten laws or amendment were provided by democracy. Some poeple don't even get to vote so we and other counties are lucky.

If America didn't have democracy we would steel, we would argue, we would fight. America would be super caos,even though i have a small age I would ride my bike out of the U.S.A

Democracy means ruled by the people. The people in america get to vote in america. You half to live in the us more than 14 years .you need to be 18 or older to vote.The president makes things like the:judical branch-the suprem court,legislave branch-makeslaws and executive branch - president vice president.

Its important because it would be unusual to not have laws and presidents .

Democracy means ruled by the people. I mean if there was no democrocracy in America will be a bad place to live. Well,with all the injuries there wouldn'tbe enough people following the laws.It's also important to vote for a President of America.So he could make laws and sign laws so at least most people will follow our country's laws.Because if we had no laws nobody will visit America.

The Decloration of Independance declared that the U.S. was free from the British .

A democracy means ruled by the people, you have to be 18 or older to vote. You also have to be born in america. To be a citizen you have to live in america for 14 years. Its important to vote because you can elect Barac Obama
for president, or Jhon MCcain. America would be a huge disaster if we werent a democracy, robers ,and people would be going out of control.
