    Ravi Purohit-PUB 1250 2/16/05 The paper in which I chose to write about is American Democracy. When the thirteen British colonies in North America declared their independence in 1776, they laid down that “governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” This meant that they wanted a government for the people, run by the people. This is one of the basic ideals upon which our nation was founded.

Although there are smaller parties in the US today, they do not achieve much power. Therefore the presidential position can only be
