Our nation's government is the greatest in the world, we have the best doctors, the best minds, the best economy in the world, and it's all thanks to our known wonderful system of government as democracy. Democracy is a way for the people of a nation to decide who will represent them and their beliefs, and it provides fair and honest elections to decide who will assume these offices. The United States of America is one of the many countries in the world that uses the democratic system and has many checks and balances to maintain order in power, this way no person or group can be too powerful. The idea of ​​an electoral type government came from the Greeks around 600 BC and the only reason it was a failure at the time was because of corruption in their elections, which is why the US has checks and balances in order . Democracy is maintaining order at all levels of government and maintaining order and freedom for the citizens of a nation, by which all laws are made equal for the people and by the people with fair elections and honest representatives, who in turn empower the people to take the initiative and control their own government. The way our government benefits us through democracy is to maintain order in the nation and protect our rights in every way possible, from local government to national government. The federal government is a type of government that strengthens the national government as a whole, provides national assistance, national defense, and most importantly, establishes strong justice in a nation. Since the birth of the United States, the federal government began as a way to strengthen the nation as a whole. “Substantial power over matters affecting the people as a whole, such as external power... of middle paper... which allows the citizens of a nation to make decisions for themselves and to elect those who will represent the citizens through the elections. “…exercised directly by them or by elected representatives in a free electoral system.” (Democracy). Democracy is a type of government that many nations should embrace if they have not already done so; There are many other types of government, but none have benefited or satisfied a country more than democracy has. Our government benefits us citizens through the form of government known as democracy. It protects our rights, helps our citizens and protects our rights that our country reserves for us, the people. The nation, driven by democracy, may have great systems of checks and balances that make a federal government and state government work so well, which is why more countries should seek to embrace a democratic vision of government..
