RE: Adsactly Education - A Brief History of Democracy

in #education7 years ago (edited)

The say that democracy was a blessing but I don't really know what to say on weighing them I gathered pros and cons on it. In my major class in Contemporary Europe subject I have learn that the concept was first brought in Greece. It was also brought in Italy with the concept of The people power or rule of the people. From then on many Nations leader got ousted for being too much and people got the idea of democracy. Do you still remember the Age of Enlightenment? In which the the bloody French Revolution took place. The people could not longer take the conservative way of governing and thus the aftermath of it was a much clearer view on the ideals of democracy under the 17 points. Democracy is indeed amazing but too much freedom of power can also be very dangerous and toxic. Great organize post , this is something I love to read as history student. Very related to what I write everyday

Thank you for the kind words. The 'first' French Revolution obviously didn't last, but the idea of universal suffrage was planted there to be harvested in the second one.
