This is why America ended up with a Representative Democracy instead of a Pure Democracy
Why did America end up with a Representative Democracy instead of a Pure Democracy? A Representative democracy is founded on the principles of popular sovereignty. Where as a Pure Democracy is a democracy in which the power to govern lies directly in the hands of the people rather than being exercised through their representatives. The next couple of paragraphs will be explaining these in depth and then after this I will say why our Government went with a Representative Democracy rather than a Pure democracy. "In Great Britain a representative in Parliement does not have to reside in a district which he represents. Forman 15
As I said a Representative democracy is founded on the principles of popular sovereignty. The Representatives of a person running for president organizes everything for what the say a election period. They have to go in the peoples interest but they still have to disagree with some people. So what I am saying is that we are putting our country in the hands of one man, but he has Representatives helping him through everything. The representatives get chosen by the people. These elections are to see who our Representatives are.
As I said before a Pure democracy is a democracy in which the power to govern lies directly in the hands of the people rather than being exercised through their representatives. I'm glad we did not go with a Pure Democracy, because I rather have one guy we as a nation selected to do this, rather than a nation selecting if we go to war or not. Are representatives has a lot of things to worry about such as communication, economics, education, emergencies, environment, health, security, space exploration, taxation, transportation and finally welfare. We can either let professionals handle it or we can let people that do not have a lot of experience handle it.
Lastly why did America choose a Representative Democracy over a Pure Democracy. America has debated this topic for a long time until there was a debate and we choose a Representative Democracy. "To correct the failings of the government created by the founders and to truly achieve a good government and society, we are guided by the following two principles:
That government and society are best in which fairness and the power, freedom, and happiness of everyone are maximized.
These things are achieved by creating a correct distribution and balance of political power, the condition in which no faction reigns supreme or holds undue power and everyone holds some measure of real power and can truly affect the fundamental nature of the society within which they live."Rothenberger chapter 6.
