text: Many countries around the world, such as the US, are a democracy. This means that the government is fueled by the opinions of the people, and value those thoughts. This version of government is functional as those countries are standing today. Hard decisions are reached by a majority of the opinions of the people, which allow the choice that the most people prefer. For the US, especially in the legislative part of government, this method of decision making has kept the US functioning for around 3 centuries. The better choice for a law, impeachment decision, or inauguration is found by a series of voting and opinions being used to help one make the better choice. More importantly, the advice of millions of people in the form of a vote decide the popular vote for the US's president. Even in small disputes or when in need of advice, gathering a group of people to put forth ideas gives one the opportunity to recognize a majority and pick that choice or piece of information.
