eWord Game - Unit 4: Becoming the the United States: Game 7. What Is a Democracy? OK…we need a show of hands…who loves today’s Wonder of the Day? If you raised your hand, you voted “Yes!” For Wonderopolis. Thank you! We appreciate your votes. Every time you visit Wonderopolis, your visit is like a vote of confidence in Wonderopolis. Each visitor gets counted and we use that data to learn which Wonders of the Day are the most popular. Sometimes people vote on other types of things. Of course, the voting that democracy makes possible is expressed most powerfully when we as citizens vote for the leaders who will represent us in our government.

A democracy is a form of government in which the people ultimately hold the power. There are different types of democracies. Such a system would be unworkable, which is why there are also indirect democracies. For example, the United States is an indirect democracy. Unfortunately, not all governments around the world embrace the idea of democracy. Colonists Protest British Policies Video - Patrick Henry.
