huh? Whenever she got locked in. I'm 12 years old and I will be reading a script. One. Democracy, democracy. Everyone says it's great Every day there's democracy going on all over the place, from student councils to local national government. Democracy is who votes for chips for lunch or who won't sell it. So designing a lunch could be a democratic thing. But democracy is there for the important things in our lives like justice, education, health care, infrastructure, things that need to be organised well, and they need people to organise them. There are lots of ways to organise things monarchy, Dictatorships, for example but ruled by one person, Khun gets problematic. That's why the ancient Greeks, as well as wearing bedsheets, invented democracy. Demos is ancient Greek. For the people, Kratos is their word for power or strength on democracy means rule by the people under democracy. Instead of following a king or dictator. All the Athenians that counted got to discuss the important issues facing their city on vote for the best solutions, except that for the Greeks, the only people who counted where are those men whose completed military training, which wasn't great news. If you were a woman or a slave or didn't like fighting. Today, our democracy isn't just based on the decisions of a small group. It's based on majority rule combined with the protection of minority rights.

The representatives we vote for create the rules on laws that govern us generally getting this stuff organised. I'm protects the rights of those who won't sell it.

Whichever party has the greatest representation forms the government on their leader becomes T shirt. Sometimes parties joined together to do this, but more about that later. It's the job of Auntie shook on all the TDs to do their best to represent our interests on the champion. Our rights Most of all, it's their job to get the big stuff done, making the rules and laws that get those roads built, keep our hospitals and schools running and protect the nation It's a true descendant of the system started in Athens 2.5 1000 years ago, only with many more women and no slaves. So good news, All red. I'm with warmer outfits. The Greek gear doesn't really work in Ireland. Thanks for listening by.
