Don't really understand how the US works.Re: A step toward complete democracy?
The Senate: There are two senators elected to each state for a six-year term. The timing is such that one-third are elected every two years. This ensures continuity of experience of at least two-thirds of senators at any one time. The purpose of two votes per state is to enable each state to have equal representation, preventing more populous states from passing legislation that would always primarily benefit more populous states.Re: A step toward complete democracy?
Thanks for that Surfermom. I've always found the USA system confusing. Virtually 'tri' cameral with a president who appears to have much more individual power that a Prime Minister has and 2 senators from states with minimal population having as much clout as states with 10 times the population seems undemocratic. Maybe you should be 50 countries?Re: A step toward complete democracy?
