United States as democracy and it in the broad
sense, but that isn't the thing merely having
republic Let's try to define of these things
closely, that when the words well all know
eisely what we're talking about
First democracy. Democracy is general condition of
society, of life not form of government 1t
IA condition in which all men have equal rights, has
special privileges, and equal opportunities open to all
In which all join freely in governing themselves
Thus England Norway and Sweden all monarches have
been much democraces the United States-many

The United States is democracy 1t is not perfect
democracy of for is here earth not in heaven
To the extent that all do not have equal rights that
privileges to that extent have failed to achieve democ
But have achieved great deal and democracy

Note that the totaarian ideal is the direct opposite
In Russia single class the proletariat, il conceded all
power and there inherent rights for anybody else

Germany and Italy single party has all the powers Of
