One of the main arguments presented by Crick in In Defense of Politics is that politics is a realistic good necessary for well-organized governance. From my experiences on the ground, I understand that democracy allows different interests and points of view to be heard diplomatically. Although democracy gives rise to divergent ideas and opinions, citizens of a democratic state understand that their interests are often served by democratic values ​​and equal representation in government affairs. Political representatives must account for their actions and decisions before the masses so that the rule of law is obligatory. Democracy does not discriminate against ideology or party affiliation. During my internship, constituents of various partisan affiliations expressed their concerns and opinions regarding legislation introduced by the Congressman or presented in the State Assembly. Unlike many other forms of government, democracy does not discriminate based on political affiliation or ideology. My personal experiences with voters on the phone, both for and against various bills in the State Assembly, highlight how protesters are heavily involved and engaged in local political affairs. Constituents, as a collective, have the power and will to influence the passage or rejection of a bill in the Senate or Assembly simply by expressing their opinion as a group. Personalized emails and letters to the MP on issues ranging from animal rights to after-school programs are examples of a democratic process working in conjunction with majority consent. Democracy allows citizens to express their opinions and express concerns or support for legislation. Additionally, voters will express their concerns or middle of paper......the office responsible for expressing their views on issues played an active role in defending their rights as citizens in a democracy representative. Politicians care about the good of the state and consensus on appropriate laws and legislation is achieved in the State Assembly. Democracy allows citizens to choose representatives who will best serve their interests in public affairs. Every citizen has an equal share of representation in government. The voters I met and spoke with during my internship enjoy purely democratic freedoms, including the freedom to vote, the freedom to elect people who will meet their needs, the freedom to own property and the freedom to express their opinions to the representatives who are responsible to their county or district.Works CitedCrick, Bernard.
