Understanding Democracy | From Representative Government to the Mayflower Compact |Rational Politics
In this video, we explore the fundamental concept of democracy, comparing direct and representative forms of governance.

Learn how these historical milestones shaped the idea of government by the people, and understand the differences between democratic and non-democratic systems like those found in modern republics.
