Forms of Government

There are several different forms of government in the world. Some countries believe in democracy and representation like the United States. Other countries are still caught up in their traditional models of having a king and queen like Great Britain. Still other countries are not given the choice of how they are ruled and are governed by dictators like Cuba or Burma.
We must all determine the type of government that works for our country and try to support it as best we can. In the United States, we have found that democracy is right for us. Though at times it is flawed and prone to mistakes there is little dispute that it works well for our country and people.
Winston Churchill said, "Democracy is the worst form of government; except for all the rest."
Take time to consider life under each type of government and why ours may very well be the best.
