DEMOCRACY DISCUSSION
I am proud to be an American. The "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave" is the only place I would ever want to live. The Democratic Republic of the United States of America allows for freedom that no other country offers. Freedom is a privilege, not a right; and in order to secure these privileges, people need to perform their civic duties. A main policy of the U.S. is popular sovereignty, the belief that the legitimacy of a state is created by the will or consent of the people, who are the source of all political power. In the United States, the power rests in the people, the most important part of any government. No matter your race or religion, people live freely and have the same privileges as everybody else in the country.
