Summary
"Why the people? Is democracy actually the best form of government? Does it ever work like it's supposed to? Join Lin and Julie as they wonder aloud how America can ever be a democracy when citizens seem to disagree about everything. With them, we are whisted through political history, journeying through different systems of power, including monarchy, theocracy, dictatorship, and oligarchy. From Beka Feathers and Ally Shwed comes a much-needed answer to our times-- as humanity grapples with the political landscape of our world, this book shines a bright light on power, justice, and the promise of true democracy."--Back cover
