HEAVY NONSTANDARD/BAD ESSAY
Throughout history, societies have always held their different viewpoints on governmental decision making. Societies have also held their different viewpoints on the roles of citizens in this decision making. This process can range from absolute control by a single individual or a few individuals to a political system that is a democracy. It’s many good and bad things to both systems of government.
There are forms of government with only one person in charge. The citizens don’t have no say in the decisions that are made. The leader has complete control, and he has total control. Mussolini was this kind of leader in Italy.He made all of the rules. Mussolini was a very harsh ruler. He gained many thing for Italy. These things might not have never been accomplished in a democracy. Mussolini's form of government was known as fascism. There are some downsides to forms of government with only one person in charge. Many times the people rights are denied. This causes them to become unhappy. This makeØ them want to fight the unfair government. This caused the French Revolution. Some people wanted to have a more democratic government. This revolution was not successful in the end. France returned to a form of government with one man as its ruler. Rulers that are like kings believe that free elections should not be held. This would put power in the hands of the people. This is absolutely against that type of government. This is a disadvantage. The ruler cannot be replaced unless he Ø overthrown. A bad leader will just not be elected again in a democracy. Leaders that are like kings may bring good things to they country. They might bring economic reform. They might also bring economic growth, but their rule may result in problems for the citizens. The problems lead to revolution.
The opposite of a government with only one person in charge is democracy. The government representØ the people in a democracy. The citizens are encourageØ to take part in government. They have a say about what decisions are made for their country. They are able to make choices during free elections. The people choose the candidate they feel would do the best for their nation. This sort of government was found in Ancient Athens. They encouraged people to take part in the government. It was a responsibility of all AthenianØ to take part in their democracy. All of the power Ø not put all under one person. This is an advantage. This prevents the leader from making bad decisions. There is an example of this. The English Bill of Rights written in 1689 is the example. This limited the powers of the king. It allowØ parliament to challenge the kingØ decisions. It seems to be that in democracy fewer problems occur. The people are the ones who make the decisions. They are satisfied most of the time with it. Democracy has a negative side to it. Citizens take their rights too seriously. They take advantage of them. A leader that is like a king would be more successful in this case. He would easily be able to control the people. He could smash any threats to the government.
It’s good things and bad things to both systems. It seems that democracy is a better choice in the end. The U.S. and England are democratic nations. They seem to have fewer problems than governments that are not democratic like Cuba and Russia. Both have had they bright points and dark points. (586)

Throughout history, societies have held their different viewpoints on governmental decision making and the roles of citizens in this decision making process. This process can range from absolute control by a single individual or a few individuals to a political system that is a democracy. It’s many advantages and disadvantages to both systems of government.
In a totalitarian form of government, the citizens don’t have no say in the decisions that are made. The dictator has complete and total control. An example of this was Mussolini in Italy. During his rule, he enforced a totalitarian state. Although he was a very harsh ruler, he gained many thing for Italy that might not have never been accomplished in a democracy. Mussolini's form of government was known as fascism. There are, however, some downsides to totalitarian systems like fascism; many times the people rights are denied, which causes them to become unhappy and in many cases makeØ them want to revolt against the unfair government. An example of this was the French Revolution. The liberals wanted to have a more democratic government. The end result of this revolution, however, was not successful because France returned to a form of government with one man as its ruler. Totalitarian rulers also believe that free elections should not be held. This would put power in the hands of the people, which is absolutely against totalitarian ideology. This is a disadvantage because if the ruler is not really doing what is best for the country, he cannot be replaced unless he Ø overthrown. In a democracy, a bad leader will just not be re-elected. Even though totalitarian leaders may bring good things to they country, like economic reform and growth, their rule may also result in turmoil among the citizens, which in the end often leads to revolution.
The opposite of totalitarianism is democracy. In a democracy, the government representØ the people. The citizens are encourageØ to take part in government and have a say as to what decisions are made concerning their country. A way in which this is demonstrated is through free elections. The people choose which candidate they feel would do the best for their nation. An example of people being encouraged to take part in government was Ancient Athens. It was a responsibility of all AthenianØ to take part in their democracy. Another advantage of a democracy is that all of the power Ø not put all under one person. This prevents the leader from making unjust decisions. An example of this was The Bill of Rights that was established in England in 1689. This limited the powers of the king and allowØ parliament to challenge the kingØ decisions. It also seems to be that in democracy fewer revolts occur, because the people are the ones who make the decisions. They are therefore satisfied most of the time with what the decision is. However, democracy also has a negative side to it; sometimes, citizens take their rights too seriously and take advantage of them. In this case, a totalitarian leader would be more successful, simply because he would easily be able to control the people and smash any threats to the government.
It’s pros and cons to both systems. However, it seems that democracy is a more efficient policy in the end. Democratic nations, such as the U.S. and England, seem to have fewer problems than totalitarian governments, like communist Cuba and Russia. Yet, throughout history, both democracy and totalitarianism have had they bright points and dark points. (586)
