Final review
American democracy draws influences from Greek, Roman, and English systems but is a representative democracy where elected representatives exercise power on behalf of voters. The founding fathers created three branches of government and a system of checks and balances to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. John Locke's ideas of natural rights and consent of the governed also influenced the nation's founding. The Constitution protects freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, and the right to protest peacefully. It also established a process for amending the document with approval from Congress and state legislatures.
