Examples Of How Democratic Is The United States

How democratic is the United States government?

The United States government has many aspects that show how it is democratic. Although many aspects show how it is democratic, some aspects aren’t very democratic.

Elections in the United States aren’t as democratic as we think. For example, when people go and vote for a president, their vote doesn’t determine if the candidate wins. Instead, each state has a certain amount of electoral college votes. There are a total of 538 electoral votes, and the bigger the state, the more votes that state gets. In North Carolina, there are a total of 15 electors which means we have 15 votes that go towards the election. If elections were “ruled by the people” completely, the electoral college wouldn't be

The Supreme Court consists of the chief justice and eight associate justices. These members are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The members of the Supreme Court do not have to run or campaign to be elected. When they are appointed as justices, they must serve for life. Judges and Justices serve no fixed term — they serve until their death, retirement, or conviction by the Senate. This aspect of the legal system is not democratic (ruled by the people). If it were democratic, citizens of the United States would be able to vote for the justices. But instead, they are nominated by the president, and then they get approved by the Senate. This does not allow citizens to have a say in who is part of the Supreme Court. Justices also serve a no fixed term which does not allow the United States to have different justices throughout the years. This means that things would not change in the Supreme Court because there would not be any new justices or new

Supply is the amount of a specific good or service that’s available in the market. Demand is the amount of the good or service that customers want to buy. For supply and demand to work how it’s supposed to, you need people. When people buy goods it causes there to be a reduction in supply which is good. This means that the demand is high because people are willing to purchase a good. When people do not purchase goods or services, it is very bad for the economy. Prices go down on goods and companies lose tons of money. When people do not want to purchase a good or service, there is an abundance. With an abundance, companies have no other choice but to lower their prices. This shows how the economy needs people because, without them, supply and demand would not
