The phrase federal government contains two key terms for the topic of the
present paper. As a consequence, it would be appropriate to define each of them for
a better understanding of this concept.
Like what the Cambridge Dictionary say that the federation is An
organization, comprised of a set of smaller organizations or companies, which
seeks to bring attention to issues that are of importance to its members. Each
organization that comprises the federation maintains control over its own
operations. For example, a group of small businesses in a related industry might
form a federation in order to lobby the government for laws favorable to small
businesses
On the other hand, The United States of America is also a federation. A
federation is a An organization, comprised of a set of smaller organizations or
companies, which seeks to bring attention to issues that are of importance to its
members. Each organization that comprises the federation maintains control over
its own operations.
The federations can be multiethnic or can cover a huge geographical space.
In order to be a federation the sovereign state should accept this idea and be as a
common agreement. The most known federations are: Germany, Brasilia, Malaysia,
The United States of America, Canada and Australia. The executive power of the
federation is a federal government
The subordinated states can make their own rules and decisions regarding
the security and power of those states without the implication of the federal
government. The federal government needs to ask the other states opinion to create
a new rule for the state.
For example, one such federal government is that of The United States of
America which have fifty states with their own local government and a central
government that is the leader of them and in the idea with the Constitution, it needs
to cooperate with the governor from the subordinate states to make decisions in
point of the security, foreign policy, or other problems can affect the state
Democracies are based on the rule of law. The ancient Greeks (particularly
Aristotle) valued natural law, the notion according to which human societies
should be governed by ethical principles found in nature.
The Greeks were famous for practicing direct democracy, a system in which
citizens met to discuss all policy, and then make decisions by majority rule.
However, only free males were considered to be citizens. So their democracy was
certainly limited. Today direct democracy is practiced in New England town
meetings, where all citizens of voting age meet to decide important political
decisions.
But how could direct democracy work in a large, diverse population spread
over a geographical distance? Generally, the answer has been that it can't. In its
place, the American Founders used indirect or representative democracy. In this
system, the representatives are chosen by the people to make decisions for them.
The representative body, then, becomes a manageable size for doing the business of
government.
The Founders preferred the term republic to democracy because it
described a system they generally preferred: the interests of the people were
represented by more knowledgeable or wealthier citizens who were responsible for
those that had elected them. Today, we tend to use the terms republic and
democracy interchangeably.
A
widespread
criticism
of
representative
democracy
is
that
the
representatives become the elites that seldom consult ordinary citizens, so, even
though they are elected, a truly representative government doesn't really exist.
Another modern version of democracy is called democratic centralism, a
term made famous by Vladimir Ulyinov Lenin. As the leader of the Russian
Revolution in 1917, he established a communist government that allowed no private
property to exist.
