a great democracy has got to be progressive or it will soon cease to be great or a democracy.


Ideally, the foundations of democracy should be derived from the people. The people--as a collective entity--is always changing. That's in a general sense. America as a full fledged democracy is arguable just because we elect representatives to choose further up the food chain. On the other hand, that can be considered democracy in play in itself.

An example of progress in democracy, formerly marginalized people would add into the collective people.

The more input, the greater the people beneifited, the more impact, the greater the society.

Answer:

I hope this helps you. If not an entire page of information for your question is on History.com- Berlin Airlift

Explanation:

After World War II, the Allies partitioned the defeated Germany into a Soviet-occupied zone, an American-occupied zone, a British-occupied zone and a French-occupied zone. Berlin, the German capital city, was located deep in the Soviet zone, but it was also divided into four sections. In June 1948, the Russians–who wanted Berlin all for themselves–closed all highways, railroads and canals from western-occupied Germany into western-occupied Berlin. This, they believed, would make it impossible for the people who lived there to get food or any other supplies and would eventually drive Britain, France and the U.S. out of the city for good. Instead of retreating from West Berlin, however, the U.S. and its allies decided to supply their sectors of the city from the air. This effort, known as the “Berlin Airlift,” lasted for more than a year and carried more than 2.3 million tons of cargo into West Berlin.
