"In class it was stated that American government is complex and not intended to be understood by the average citizen. What do you think about this and would the founders agree with the level of democracy instituted in our government? Is it relying too much on the voice and opinion of people?"
Lets look at what people want and if they got it
Out of Iraq: Nope
Universal Healthcare: Nope
Child Healthcare: Nope
Ban on Gay marriage: Nope
Gay Marriage Acceptable: Nope
Ban on Abortion: Nope
Catching Osama Bin Laden: Nope
Making American Safe: We're safer yet not safe - Bush
Winning Hearts and Minds of the Arab World: Nope
Impeach Cheney and/or Bush: Almost, but no.
Alternative fuel: Nope
Low Gas Prices: Nope
Immigration Reform: Nope
Social Security Reform: Nope
Stop Global Climate Change: Nope
Making Sure our Congressmen get raises every year: Yes
Considering how much the people want and how much they get, I'd say the founders would be proud. At least we succeed where it counts.
