Democracy vs elitism

1 answer:

4 0

In elitist theory power is seen as concentrated amongst a few groups or individuals, including the government. Elitist theory would suggest that only a few major pressure/interest groups, such as the NRA or AARP, actually have any influence, and that even they struggle to gain power because it is concentrated in the hands of a few members of government.

Democracy is a system of government where the citizens exercise power by voting. In a direct democracy, the citizens as a whole form a governing body and vote directly on each issue. In a representative democracy the citizens elect representatives from among themselves.

That part had been ordered already by President Roosevelt in January, 1942. In February, 1942, FDR signed an executive order that allowed the Secretary of War to designate certain areas as military zones.
