Question

Which belief was clear in the founding of the American government as a democracy?

1.Elected officials are supposed to serve the people's best interests.

2.Many political parties were preferred.

3.The military should be a big part of the civilian government.

4.The president would be like a king but elected.

Answer 1

Definitely number 1.


Option 2: Part of George Washington’s parting speech was about how he didn’t want political parties.

Option 3: I mean it’s possible that they wanted that, but I haven’t really seen any of that so I think it’s unlikely.

Option 4: Keep in mind that they had JUST come out of the clutches of Britain. 99% of the reason they fought the revolutionary war was because of the king. They really didn’t want any part of a monarchy.

Option 1: While in theory a king’s job is supposed to be to serve the people, that rarely ever happens. So, that’s why they didn’t want a king. They REALLY wanted a president FOR THE PEOPLE.

It goes along with the themes of the first words of the preamble

We. The. People.

Answer 2

1. Elected officials are supposed to serve the people's best interests.

Step-by-step explanation:

The belief that was clear in the founding of the American government as a democracy is that elected officials are supposed to serve the people’s best interests. The founders of the United States created a democratic republic, a system of government in which the power to govern comes from the people, but elected officials represent their interests. This means citizens elect officials, such as senators and representatives, who vote for the citizens they represent in Congress.
