Democracy in America doesn't work on popular vote, rather, it works on the electoral college. This means that in states, whichever president was voted more would count as 1 vote towards that president. This means that technically, the US only has 52 votes in total. This is definetely not a fair result. We should be able to have popular vote, because, well, it's a democracy! We should be working on the interests of the majority, not the minority. However, because we have many big states, such as California, that are majorly liberal, small states won't have much say in what happens in the USA.

How can governments both harm and help there people?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Governments can be run and managed well or poorly based on leaders in charge- look at explanation

Explanation:

A government can usually dictate to some degree what people do. So if the government passes a law that bans a certain race or gender from doing a certain thing, whether it be applying for a job, or eating at a certain restaurant, then the government is limiting human rights. This, morally to us as a modern society as seen as a bad thing because it judges people based on things they cannot change, instead of things people can change like attitude or character. Now lets say a government decided to pass a law that provided healthcare or education for its people. This would be a good thing because people who become educated or maintain their health will most likely be beneficial to the society that they are a part of.

Dropping the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not a military necessity because from other reports, the Japanese were about to surrender anyway. It was justifiable because we were scared and we acted because we were threatened.
