The concept of democracy is not unique or original to the
United States. The first documented democratic society was
ancient Greece. Ancient Greece actually had a combination
direct democracy and representative democracy. A
representative democracy is one where the citizens elect
representatives to vote on issues for them and a direct
democracy is one where all citizens can vote on issues. While
direct democracy sounds good, it is difficult to implement
because of the potentially high number of people involved. On
the other hand, not everyone who lived in Greece was a citizen;
large groups were not eligible such as women, slaves, and non-
landowners. Preserving the concepts of representative
democracy is necessary to sustain the democratic process.
Likewise, there are aspects of constitutional democracy to
consider when reflecting on the state of democratic governance.
In addition, the foundations of democratic governance are
rooted in republican forms of government. The intersection of
representative democracy, constitutional democracy, and
republican forms of government has a bearing on the lasting
power of democratic governance as it exists in modern society.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· Review the articles “Representative Democracy as a Necessary
Condition for the Survival of a Federal Constitution,”
“Republicanism,” and “Democracy” in this week’s Learning
Resources. Consider the nature of representative democracy as
it relates to democratic governance.
· Reflect on the concepts of representative democracy,
constitutional democracy, and republican forms of government
and think about how they impact contemporary democratic
governance.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4 a brief working definition of representative
democracy, constitutional democracy, and republic forms of
government. Then, explain how these concepts impact
contemporary democratic governance. Provide specific
examples to illustrate your points.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific
references to the Learning Resources
