A Democratic Society
Throughout time the debate upon which is the best system of government has been an ongoing debate. Somewhere between the realms of democracy, socialism, fascism, communism, and monarchism lies the answer to the perfect system.

To a certain extent, this enables people to be in control of their own lives. The
