In a democracy citizens pass judgment on their government and if they are kept in the dark about what their government is doing they cannot be in a position to make well-grounded decisions.

I don't believe that government is good at picking technology particularly technology that is changing. By the time you get it done and go through democracy it's so outdated.

While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government in the short run it is among the most fragile.

Democracy is not so much a form of government as a set of principles.

Democracy is when the people keep a government in check.

A pure democracy is a society consisting of a small number of citizens who assemble and administer the government in person.

Democracy is the form of government that gives every man the right to be his own oppressor.

Democracy means government by the uneducated while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.

The ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination.

On account of being a democracy and run by the people we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years no matter what it does.
