What it means to live in a democracy is where people have a say in how the government runs and you get to vote on citizens based on who you should think should be in the government.

When you live in a democracy the people of the city get to decide most of the decisions. The government tend to focus more on the people, unlike other government where you have to vote for someones decisions you believe in. Some democracies

I think that living in a democracy means that you have a say in your government. I think that this is important because people like to feel like they are making choices and have the ability to change something that they do not like. If a citizen does not like the way a senator or other person in the government is representing them, the next election they will choose a different kind

It means that positions of power are chosen by the people. Instead of electing officials based on money and power- communism. Instead the people decide based on the ideas they want pursued.

Democracy means that you get to have an opinion on the government and that you get to vote on who you want to rule

To live in a democracy is to have the power to directly influence changes that will affect your life.

It means that everyone can say what they want if it is needed and everyone is able to have an opinion

It means that you have as a citizen an opinion in what is happening in your government. I also think it is important because people that live in a democracy are making choices that can change the way they live.

# data[].attributes.body
To live in a democracy is to be able to give your opinion on decisions and have the right to offer your votes on group decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
What it means to me to live in a democracy is that you are able to say your opinion on what's happening in the government and it actually matters.

# data[].attributes.body
Democracy means that you have a say in what your government is doing. You can have your own belief's and opinions and not be discouraged from stating your mind.

I think that living in a democracy means that you have a say in your government. I think that this is important because people like to feel like they are making choices and have the ability to change something that they do not like. If a citizen in a direct democracy does not like the way a senator (or other person from another position) is representing them, the next election they will choose a senator (or other person for another position) who will represent them the way they want to be represented. Though this may not be the senator (or other person for another position) that is chosen in the end, at least they know that they had a say in what they wanted the outcome to be. If a citizen lives in a republic democracy they have a say in everything that the government needs a vote on. These people will be able to make their own choices on each matter which means that they know that they are valued in the government. They feel like their voice is heard and even if the outcome of the topic is not what they wanted they know they could not do anything else to change the say.
