John Adams

John Adams said, “Democracy… while it lasts, is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.” This quote, to me means that the higher you are in some societies the more likely you are going to be treated better. The higher you are the more people will know you and the more people will notice you’re name. They will even notice if you are holding hereditary titles. You could also have a higher privilege than anyone else. The lower you are in society the less you will be recognized and the less people will notice you for what you have done. The less other will notice you the less people will notice your name. A monarchy is usually held by one person. The person that it is usually run by is a king, prince, queen, or princess. They are usually passed down from generation to generation. Some monarchies are run by parliaments, Britain and Denmark would be a couple of examples. There are two different kinds of monarchy, one is an absolute monarchy and the other is a limited monarchy. Democracy will basically soon kill itself it could take time but it will eventually soon end. Democracy is a system of government by the population and all eligible members of a state. In a monarchy you will be noticed because democracy is a government run by the people. The people can elect agents under a free electoral system if they choose to. This is something that they do not have to do if they do not want to. People in this usually are respect to their political power. This is usually used in the Middle French, Late Latin, and Greek. Two democracies are the United States and Canada. This means that people can elect their representatives and they can vote on it to choose who will represent their state.
