I SPEAK FOR DEMOCRACY Br Judy Ellea Jones r iMt for democracy. For the democracy of a land that is strong and free. Free from the domination of a dictator. We have freedom of religion, of the press, of speech, of thought, and of assembly. Our country was founded on the principles of freedom and our fore- lathers lOUglll UIU VJ iw fnri-iaUiers believed that "all men are created equal, they are endowed by their greater who cer tain unalienable RiRhis. that mnn? these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." and our democracy preserves uiese nguu. Since time began man has fought for freedom. In 1215 the people of England forced King John to sign the Magna Carta. This was a petition of rights but has very little effect until 1629. We became a democracy in 1776 and since that time have remained an independent and democratic nation. Our democracy believes in the education of all Its Inhabitants, not Just a few. as in less fortunate nations. No matter whether you are the son of a rich man or a laborer's son you have an equal opportunity. When the pilgrims landed on Ply mouth Rock in 1620 it was to avoid persecution In Europe. They were being persecuted for their desire to worship freely, in Amer lea they were free to worship the wsy they desired. . I believe in a democracy where men are free to follow their own choice In life. You aren't born to your position. If you are a laborer It Is because you have so Incentive to raise yourself. If you are an executive or the like it Is because you are willing to work and gain respect not because your family had the Job before you. As our flag symbolises, we are one nation which cannot be divid ed, and may it always stay that way. For as Abraham Lincoln said, "a house, .divided against It self can not stand." We have stood as a democracy, representing the Ideals of freedom and equality, for over a hundred and fifty years. We give liberty and justice to all our Inhabitants. We give the right ol a (air trial by Jury to carry out the due process o the -law. No one can unjustly charge us of a crime and put us In Jail without a trial. On Bedloe's Island In New York Habor stands our symbol of de mocracy, the beautiful Statue of Liberty. This is a beautiful sculp tured statue of a lady holding a torch high above her head. It was given to the United States by France to celebrate the one hun dredth anniversary of American Independence and to show the friendship between France and America. There Is a ligh; kept burning in the torch at all times as a symbol of our living democ racy. Our constitution provides for our democracy and freedom. It states that there must be three branches of government. No one of Uiese can act without the consent of the other two branches, this elimin ates any possibility of dictatorship. Some countries claim to hsve a democracy, yet they tell you how to vote, how to worship, and even how to raise your children. This Is no democracy and the people should be pitied who have to live under It. Someone msy ask "what is de mocracy?" A democracy is a gov ernment where the supreme power is in the hands of the people. There are two kinds, the pure democracy where the people ac tually rule, and the representative democracy where the people rule themselves Indirectly through the representatives they elect. The purpose of a democracy Is the belief in and practice of social equality. Our government Is a representa tive democracy. For It Is the peo ple who elect the government of ficials. It Is not only a cituens privilege to vole but it is his le.vpotiMblllty and he should rec ognise it as such. We hav a strong and bold na tion standing for liberty and tru:h j a nation known as a democracy. That la why I speak for democ-! lacyl !
