For this not to happen, a combination of oligarchy and democracy should be formed. The Founding Fathers favored representative democracy. They favored this form of government because it minimized the risk of abuse of power. They believed that the phrase "will of the people" was not
Bureaucratic systems are orderly and made up of governing action, laws, and orders that hold back individuals such as the patron – client systems from making judgments’ without official consent. According to WeeKoh (2009) this is what is known as the red tape rule where formal documentations processed by administration before any significance can be made p. one The patron – client system associates are allowed to get external means, connections, and manage tasks without acceptance but the tasks has to be helpful to the system.

Robert Dahl and Charles Lindbolm suggest a pluralist view of democracy suggesting that pressure groups are beneficial to democracy. They enable political participation in national and local politics providing a role for individuals in the system. The work of pressure groups monitors the government and holds it to account and as a result can leak and expose information. As pressure groups aim to influence public policies either by direct action or lobbying and raising awareness of an issue as groups compete to influence policies and the government may take advice from them. Furthermore pressures groups are essential to democracy as they give the opportunity for minorities such as ethnic groups and genders to express distinctive points of view, encouraging people to become involved with decision making and public life forming a link between the government and the people.
The system arose gradually as states began to feel that the previous method of allowing party officials to decide was undemocratic in a modern society. That the current system is democratic and encourages public participation in politics is a particular strength of primaries. Adjoined to this is that it places no restrictions on who can stand, however, despite its benefits many people have criticised the system and are pressing for its reform. Emphasising the huge costs, frontloading and regionalisation of primaries, critics state that for all its claims to be democratic it prohibits the candidates from competing on an equal level. Equally the low levels of turnout in primaries suggest that many people are not interested in the primaries and raises questions over the legitimacy of any winner.
Not only does the division of power system produce efficiency, it provides satisfaction to its citizens, and other countries. The United States is looked upon as the land of opportunity, due to the freedoms that our government has bestowed upon its inhabitants. The government has been able to abide to the freedoms promised to its inhabitants, because of the process of checks and balances, which the division of power
In his commentary,(Gawthrop 2005) states that “as a government systems become more commonplace, the responsibility for promoting the ethical moral values of democracy rests most directly on the public managers and policymakers of democratic systems”. Scanlan believes that to uphold ethical principles in public administration is the concern of the political leaders, who make the laws and policies of the state, but these principles need to be morally implemented by the public service. Public officials must accept their role to distinguish the difference interested not of their own interest, but of the general public. One must also be able to
Referendums offer the general public a choice, they are not only good for helping the public feel more involved but they are good for deciding important decisions such as changes to the constitution. Referendums help the politicians to know what the public wants and they help the public to voice their opinions on major issues. Referendums also stop the government from having so much power, and therefore maintains a democratic system as there is less chance of having a dictatorship. If there is an issue which divides parties’ on key issues which affect the public the public can have their say. If this is “a government of the people” then there should have been a referendum on tuition fees as this was a controversial subject that affected a lot of people.

Feeney and Kingsley (2008) explains, “Merit systems—remains the most effective and just means for combating patronageand identifying talented, dedicated public servants and contractors” (p. 165). The merit system is combating patronage by using dedicated public servants and contractors to put an end to corruption in politics. According to Feeney and Kingsley (2008),“Although elected representatives should play an important role in shaping publicpolicy, patronage and the spoils system have no place in achieving the amount and quality of public service that American citizens desire”(p. 163). The spoils system shares the same values that patronage stands for. Therefore, the merit systemand spoils system have different opinions on patronage.
This is perhaps what makes it such as simple act to follow as it uses clearly set out and precise laws which fully explain every right that an individual holds in their workplace, this might also be a reason why it stands so strong compared to other acts of legislation; due to its importance and value. As discrimination is a widespread issue nowadays, the equality act is invaluable for those who are most likely to suffer from the effects of pre-employment and employment.
