Thread: The best form of government?

  1. #1

    Default The best form of government?

    Democracy is little more than mob rule, then why do so many people consider it the best form of Government? What happens if you don't agree with the mob?

    What do you think? Is democracy the best form of government? If not, then what is?

    Yes. Democracy allows it's people to control their government and be free.

    Democracy may be the best form of government we have right now but it still needs work. If the people don't watch over the government then they can do whatever they want. Also having a "majority" says system only ensures that a large portion of people will have their rights taken away.

    The best form of government is one where the many do not tell the few how to live. I don't think we've found the best form yet.

    The best form of government would be a uncorrupted King who really cares about his people and does every he can for them and the country.

    What we have today are politicians who only care about themselves and don't work for the people but for corporations.

    Democracy is the best form of Government we have because it has allowed for Checks and Balances. They are there to ensure that political power is dispersed and decentralized and never just in the hands of a few. Unlike with past Governments, Democracy is a system founded on the deeply held belief that government is best when its potential for abuse is curbed and when it is held as close to the people as possible.

    Democracy is the best form of Government and here's why:

    * Sovereignty of the people.
    * Government based upon consent of the governed.
    * Guarantee of basic human rights.
    * Free and fair elections.
    * Equality before the law.
    * Due process of law.
    * Constitutional limits on government.
    * Social, economic, and political pluralism.
    * Values of tolerance, pragmatism, cooperation, and compromise.

    Democracy ensures that decisions that Government makes are good ones.

    Then what happens if the people are stupid?
    All men have equal rights to liberty, to their property, and to the protection of the laws.
