The Three Main Governments

“Democrats believe in ideals and principles that benefit all Americans, with opportunity and justice for all, devoid of discrimination based on one’s status, age, race, creed, gender, sexual orientation or disability.”(all things democratic, 2015)

The united states has a democratic government, what means that the citizens have (indirect) say in the government. Since the people here indirect can say what happens in the government they kinda powerful. Despite that the government has a lot more power, lucky the citizens are protected to that by the constitution. the first constitution of the united states is the Articles of Confederation. The constitution exist out of amendments, the first ten amendments are called the bill of rights. The amendments

It’s a hard way, but possible. You also can join a political party. If you want a say in an area smaller than the whole country you can join an interest groups. these are not the only ways citizens can do more than just vote for the president they want. Because people have a freedom of speech they can write things about the government and/or the constitution in books, newspapers and magazines. If people raid it, they can change their
