Ideal Form of Government

I believe the ideal form of government would be a democracy that is truly a democracy. Where everyone votes and the president is voted in by the people, not the electoral college. I also believe that with a democracy everyone should be equal and have an equal amount of say in what goes on in our country. The president would also have a say but it is no greater than the voice of the people; he/she is just the leader and makes announcements and informs the country of what we have decided as a whole and continually keeps the country up to date on what's going on in the world. I also believe that the government would not keep things from the people and that having everyone treated as equals is a part of that.

I realize that this will never happen because there is always someone better, and the people who are at the top will continue to be at the top and manipulate the system because they can and it's human nature to be greedy and self centered. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a fair and ideal form of government because some people won't allow that to happen.
