    Ancient Romans: First they were ruled by a monarchy, untill the people had enough of it. They set up some form of democracy becoming a republic. That democracy was mainly for the Roman ellite, and would lead to corruption by money. But still a democracy of sort. That was until it became an empire with their Emperors.
    Middle Ages: Poland had a democractic monarchy where the ellite would vote in a king, pretty much like we vote for a president. And before the partitioning of Poland, the polish ellite voted for changes but that system was bad and easily corruptable by foriegn money.

    • @jessicavarvil9489

      Basically, it's the idea that a moral people group will vote for good things and maintain order while an immoral people group will vote solely for their self-interest and result in chaos. Once there is a breakdown of society, a strong individual will arise as a tyrant/king/autocrat.
      The American founding fathers talk a lot about the Greek cycles of government, which is why the US governmental system tries to balance different forms of government rather than relying on a directly democratic model.
      I hope that helps! Let me know if you'd like me to break down any of those points further. I'm a high school history and civics teacher!

    The historical inaccuracies in this video are clear. Firstly the people did not write the manga Carta or force King John to sign it that was the Barons or in other words the aristocracy. Secondly Napoleon became First consul for life by a referendum in France. He may have effectively ended democracy but he was elected by the people of France. There are other such errors and historical videos like this should at least be accurate.

    Before the Yanks wrote themselves a constitution the English Civil war
    produced many democratic groups : Levellers, Diggers, etc
    Some espoused ideas about redistributing wealth and land and others that
    land and property should be held communally (communism).
    I think you will find democracy has existed for tens of thousands of years : long before the Greeks.
    I say this because Pirate ships and Bandits in general often used a democratic system for decision making . It is so natural it would be hard to imagine groups of hominids hadn't employed it since language began say 200K yrs ago.

  • @filesender6787

    I believe in democracy. The thing that I dont favor about is too much looseness of rules because not everyone has best intentions. Safety of the country must always comes first. I dont believe in too much openness. Democracy is different from that. That;s just my own take on that. And I know its a hard task esp. to very large countries but they keep improving as they're learning more.
    My husband always talks about how much he dislike freedom and democracy but I realized that its actually much better.

      Imperial Democracy and direct democracy often mesh with each other to produce this one result;dictatorship by a ruling class.
      Imperial Democracy lends itself to laws that are too numerous, lengthy, and complicated. direct democracy lends itself to laws that are too much based on reckless generalizations and simplistic assumptions.
      The law is too important to be left to "lawyers"! I have stated that in written letters for nearly 30 years. However, only in the last year and a half did I realize that the law should not be left to the "common man".
      The "common man",while entitled to rights that the Bill of Rights state he or she is entitled to, should not be allowed to vote for candidates for public office en masse. They simply do not have the maturity, the objectivity, the sophistication, the scope, the reasoning ability, nor a basic understanding of proper governance to make a sound choice for a candidate for public office. The "common man" are too often plagued with passions and prejudices and therefore cannot evaluate matters based on pure merit.
      While obviously poll taxes and competency tests that restrict people from voting should not be allowed because those restrictions promote the highly flawed model of Imperial Democracy, there is only one effective and principled way to implement a proper filtration system.
      That is public balloting. The people who care about the political process and the general welfare will much more likely embrace the burden of disclosure in order to support transparent governance. This is what the Founding Fathers wanted. We The People should honor their desires.
