Abstract

The United States of America was founded on the principle of democracy. The Founding Fathers believed that the power of the government was so great that it should be placed in the hands of the people. As such, the basic framework of democracy that was established by the Founding Fathers was on in which each citizen would be granted the right to vote. Votes would be cast based on which political candidate the citizen believed was best suited to meet the needs of the general public.Although the system of representative democracy as established by the Founding Fathers was to assure that the power of the government would remain vested in the hands of the people, there is one critical issue that these men were unable to foresee: a lack of political participation. While it is quite evident that a system of representative democracy provides a salient means for the government to ensure equitable representation of the people, it is also evident that this system will not work unless citizens involved in the political process fail to take an active role.
