I won't write a developed paragraph about this subject, though I will argue that American democracy is based upon it's people. The United States is a democratic republic, therefore people vote on representatives that make up the Senate. Depending upon population, each state will have one or more representatives that will voice ideas and vote upon decisions. Therefore you're vote has a huge impact upon American society.

I will argue that the view expressed in this editorial is a false one. Civic participation is extremely important both for our institutions and for our citizens. People often think that voting is pointless because each vote counts so little. However, it is a mistake to underestimate its importance. Many elections have been won with a very small advantage. Moreover, if everyone believed this, then elections would not work.

More importantly, there are many ways in which citizens can participate in the political life of their country that do not involve voting. Citizens can try to run for office. They can also get engaged in local issues in which they would have more impact. Social movements and peaceful protests are other ways in which citizens can express their views and ensure that they are being heard.

What might these similarities suggest about how populist leaders appealed to people in the 1890s
bogdanovich [222]

Since the extraordinary economic revolution that took place in North America in the final decades of the nineteenth century and the first of the twentieth century, various measures have been applied in the United States, which we rightly call populists. These have, in general, had a wide acceptance of the population, but - and this is very important - their results have not always been good. And, in some cases, they have had very damaging effects.
