Use the link above to examine how democracy works in America. After having gone through all the activities on the website, post a comment on my blog about what you learned about our democracy and how it works.
Once you have posted your comment, create a poster, bumper sticker, or button that encourages people to vote. Turn your design into my in-box.
You may then work on either your Current Events, your Wax Museum, or Writer's Notebook.

I found this very interesting.
Democracy is a system where unlike dictatorships allow the people to choose there own president and have a say in every day life.
I learned that with domocracy you need to be 35 years of age to be the president. To beable to vote you need to be 18 years old, the law used to be 21 years old but the put the voting age down. I think that they should put the voting age down to 10 years old because everyone should have a voice and when you're ten you know how to look at stuff.

i learned that in democracy everything relys on each other. that one game where their was a town and you clicked on a sertain building and it told how it helped or relyed on something else to work properly.

I have learned that the president leads a life like many of the working class, exept for the secret sevice, cooks, and movie theater.
