Define democracy as it was understood by the small city-states of Greece.American democracy tends to be made up of two competing understandings of what democracy is.Explain each type of democracy.
On Jun 03, 2024
Democracy as understood by the small city-states of Greece, such as Athens, was a system of government in which power was held by the people. Citizens had the right to participate in decision-making processes, either directly or through elected representatives. This form of democracy emphasized the importance of individual participation and the idea that every citizen had a voice in the governance of the city-state.
In contrast, American democracy tends to be made up of two competing understandings of what democracy is. The first type is representative democracy, in which citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. This form of democracy emphasizes the importance of elected officials who are accountable to the people and make decisions on their behalf.
The second type is participatory democracy, which emphasizes the direct involvement of citizens in decision-making processes. This form of democracy emphasizes the importance of active citizen participation in governance and decision-making, often through mechanisms such as town hall meetings, citizen initiatives, and referendums.
Both types of democracy have their strengths and weaknesses, and the balance between representative and participatory democracy can vary depending on the specific political system and cultural context.

Explain the decision in Gibbons v.Ogden.
On May 02, 2024
Students' answers may vary.
In Gibbons v.Ogden (1824), the Marshall Court ruled that the Interstate Commerce Clause, under which Gibbons held a federal coasting license for his steamboat line, was superior to the steamboat monopoly granted to Ogden by the state of New York.The Supreme Court broadly defined the congressional power to "regulate commerce among the states," thereby establishing the supremacy of the federal government over the states in matters involving interstate commerce.
