John Adams quote responce

The United States government is classified as a democracy. John Adams stated that democracy…while it lasts, is no bloodier than either aristocracy or a monarchy. This to me makes sense, because in an aristocracy few select people hold most of the power. The democracy that we have today when you think about it is basically run by the rich and powerful. Also the democracy that we know today is similar to a monarchy. The reason why I believe that the democracy is like a monarchy we have the president. Yes, he doesn't have all the power of the United States government, but he has the power to veto or pass laws. Since he has that power he can be a pain in the neck for the other branches of the government. All of these forms of government have their pros and cons that set them apart from one another. I think that even though they are their own governments that they are no different than one another when it comes down to the government that the people and other countries see.

John also stated that a democracy will never last long. The democracy that we know today started back in colonial times. In the time since it was created to the present time it has evolved into something it should not have been. Democracy today is really just a giant republic. The power has not been given to the people. In a true democracy the people have all of the power of the government, which we have not kept true.  Instead the power has been given to the rich and powerful “leaders” of our country. The leaders don’t care about what the people want they only care about how much money that they are going to make and how they are going to make their lives better. While the leaders should be considering the lives of the people they are serving. I believe that the way that the government is going the United States will become a communism under the mask of a democracy. The reason I think that is because our government is just becoming a self-centered selfish money hungry government that has no though about the people that it is serving. In my mind that is how I define communism.

                The united states has its flaws and if we don’t fix those flaws the whole system of government that we know and rely on will be destroyed and turned into something that we don’t want.
