Dear John Adams,

                I hear what you are saying but this is true with all forms of government. All countries rise and fall Greece gained power and fell than Rome gained power and fell fast forward Great Briton gained power and fell and we have gained power and one day we too will fall. Now you do not need to fall and have your once great empire be destroyed. Great Briton fell but it still holds lots of power. Many monarchies fell when the news of democracy reached their borders and eventually dominated their country. 

                One of the huge problems with democracy is that it takes too long to do anything. Democracy is a slow proses of debating, arguing, mudslinging, and voting while others are just one person or a small group deciding what to do. They can act in the moment while democracy everyone gets to talk and they can just ramble on and on and on so nothing gets accomplished. Everyone gets a voice and we must hear what they have to say or we just lost our democracy. In a Monarchy it is my way or you die so everything moves way faster because people want to live.

                If people are just voting in one party and they get say two-thirds than in our system they could do whatever they want and nobody can stop them because the one party has too much power. And  in our system if the two-thirds and the president are the same party it might as well be a aristocracy because only that group would be able to do anything. Their words would be law.

                Another problem is once one party dose something the next time the other party gets power they will just change it back. There is an old joke how many senators does it take to screw in a light bulb, two one to change it the other to change it back.

                Some people are given too much freedom and they want to be anarchists they can and they could gain power if people vote them in if they are voted in with enough power they could destroy the democracy from the inside out. Or if communists get in to power they can make our system communist. If the Nazis get power they could make us a fascist nation all because these groups abused our system and now they have the power to make the changes they want.
