Democracy? Is Democracy Evil?

2 Types of Democracy Direct/Pure Democracy “Rule by the people” “…and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands. Direct/Pure Democracy Indirect Democracy (Republic) Ancient Greek Style – All “citizens” had a vote. 1 2 3 4 4 different ways we look at our country’s republic

Direct/Pure Democracy In a democracy (Athenian-pure-direct) the Idol Judges have no say. The masses have total power to “judge or determine right.” WE WANT SANJAYA!

Republic (Indirect Democracy) WE DON’T! WE WANT SANJAYA! Republics don’t allow the people’s voice to directly affect the government. Their voice has to go through elected representatives.

Democratic Theory Majoritarian Democracy The people’s voice SHOULD directly impact the government. RECALL: An election to “un-elect” a government official REFERENDUM: Legislation is put on the ballot for voters to approve or vote down INITIATIVE: Same as a referendum but the issue is placed on the ballot by the people (through a petition process) instead of by the government.
