John Adams has been always remembered not only as the second president of America but also as a great philosopher. One of his quotes about Democracy states that democracy never lasts long. Adams claims that democracy soon wasters, exhausts and murder itself. He largely believes that there was never a democracy that did not commit coincide. Adams was very smart politician and his experience and knowledge about other countries caused these words. He knew about other countries which had tried this system of democracy and most of the time it failed. Many countries had turned to other government systems.

     John Adams says that democracy is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. And I agree with this idea. Democracy isn’t given just for free. People needed to fight for it and as every fight it took thousands of lives.

      Democracy is a great system of government and I think that no matter what it is better that monarchy, when only one person governs the country and other people don’t have right to make decisions. But democracy makes everything harder, because different people have different views about specific issues, which sometimes can cause arguments.

     US is one of the countries that has democracy system for many years, but personally I think that it’s not the real democracy.    A real democracy is a direct and participatory democracy, in which all citizens have the possibility and the right to participate in the decisions that affect their lives and their communities.

     Today, democracy is equated with representative government based on free elections of political elites that rule on the citizens’ behalf. In old democracies of Europe the streets were full of people protesting against brutal policies that were forced to them. In real democracy the all power is given to citizens. In US and in many “Democratic” countries decisions are made by a few leaders. But, according to real democracy political decisions should be made by all citizens living in that country. Government took control of everything. All that people do is to vote and elect representatives, and representatives not always make decisions that people wanted to.

 John Adams had a great political experience that’s how he foresaw the future of America. His words were real and the same tells us the world history. The same thing has happened to other democratic countries.

I would say that United States is so lucky to still have this system, but it still doesn't work how it supposes to work.
