In class we learned about democracy. What is democracy? Democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. We talked about what it took to have a good nation. How democratic was the U.S in the early 1800's? We looked at charts, quotes and painting that depicted democracies over time, well functioning democracies as well as a corrupt democracy. In the painting of the corrupt democracy the men were drunk so obviously they were not all there or taking any of it seriously. All people did not have a fair opportunity to vote so a man by the name of Dorr tried to fix that we discussed this and put his in out final project as well as the other documents. After we talked and took notes we made posters showing what we learned.
