The United States of America is known world wide as a democracy. Many flee their native countries to come to America for a chance at a better life. After all, America is a democracy. Our country is run by the people… indirectly! If the people do not run our country, then who?
Well, think of Weber’s theory of democratic elitism. This theory best suits on who wields the power in our democracy. According to this theory, the government is the best and most efficient agency to run the country. The government of the United States governs the American population. After all, how could all Americans agree on all issues?
Unfortunately, those who run our country aren’t always honest. Corruption exists. For example, why should Congress vote on their own pay? Of course they’ll vote on getting a raise! Maybe its time for the people to govern the country.
