You will get to understand their feelings and emotions better
I would say that this excerpt is used <span>to reveal the horrors of enslavement. It seems that Cugoano described the scene with some many details for the reader to be able to actually picture what was happening, the horror suffered and how it might affect any person in that place. It was not just him suffering but there were others who he could listen to, they were also crying. </span>
Well that’s not really the definition of a democracy. A democracy is defined by a type of government in which all ELIGIBLE members of the state can partake in decision making through the election of representatives. Having the ability to Dissent from a political decision, protest inadequate living standards, pushing for more economic justice, protesting against presidential actions etc raises public awareness, and warrants some type of change if those elected officials want to have people’s vote next time around.
Hope it helps.
