TYPES OF DEMOCRACY.

We have, IN the British, French and American governments,
three types of democratic government, varying in form, but alike
in several important essentials.
Britain is a monarchy. But in some respects, notably in respon-
slveness of the government to the will Of the people, the United
States is the least democratic of the three.
In the United States a house of representatives is elected every
two years and a president every four. The senate is a continuous
president Of the United States has vastly more o actual pow than
either the president of France OF the king of England. There may
dihons may arise which place both president and congress out Of
touch with the sentiment of the country on important issues. But
and no matter how out of touch with public sentiment either may
be, there can be no change until the regular time for election
comes.
Ihe + FRENCH fy:m system is modelled largely on the British, the chief
POINT OF difference being that instead Of a hereditary monarch
