A Discussion of Democracy

Todays Notes

       Today we talked about democracy and how the Greeks used it. The Greeks made democracy in 508 BCE. We talked how the Greeks were ruled by the people. We learned how democracy helped the people do better and how the people gave power to democracy. I liked how back in the day they did this, like for voting for their leader, but in todays world than is not what I feel we replicated. I do not feel that the people have as much power as we used to. Now whenever we vote for someone it goes to the electoral college. sure we have a little bit of a say in it, but if they don't like what we have to say they can dismiss the idea. for instance, if the electoral college did not like Trump he would have never become president. There are some other differences but none worse than the electoral college in my opinion.
