In 1772, fighting broke out between New England militia and British soldiers. On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress issued a Declaration of Independence, primarily written by Thomas Jefferson, a farmer and lawyer from Virginia. This document declared that from that time the United Colonies were no longer colonies of England, but free and independent states named the United States of America. Moreover, the Declaration of Independence set forth some of the principled of American democracy. With help from France, the American armies, led by George Washington, a gentleman farmer from Virginia, won the War of Independence . The peace treaty was signed in 1783. During the war, the states had agreed to work together by sending representatives to a national congress. The agreement that set up this plan of cooperation was called the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation failed because the states did not cooperate with the Congress or with each other

This system can work mostly in the states, where people are seriously and deeply religious, because theological power means that it is God's will and God has chosen the ruler. (McLaughlin, 2010) Fourthly, voluntaristic. It means that person will get the right to rule voluntarily. It contains duty of gratitude (benefits I did not ask). (McLaughlin, 2010) Mostly we think that only democracy can be totally acceptable. But what is democracy? Is it really so drawing power? (Wolff, 1996) Some say that democracy is the rule of the people, by the people, for the people. But does democracy really deserve the reputation that it has? (Wolff, 1996) The word of (citicens) means that democracy is internal. The word by means that in is collective (selfgovernment). The word for means that there should be public interest about political power. Three theories

association and deeper economic integration, increased mobility and more people-to- people contacts. The level of ambition of the relationship depends on the extent to which these values are shared. Some examples which steps ENP has made in the field of human rights and which are represented in the report of implementation of the European Neighbourhood Policy about Eastern Partnership: The adherence to the shared values of democracy, rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms is the very foundation of the Eastern Partnership. Significant steps have been taken to strengthen bilateral dialogues on these matters. Since July 2009 three rounds of Human Rights Dialogue have taken place with Georgia. The first meeting of the EU Armenia Human Rights Dialogue took place in December 2009 and the second in December 2010. Issues of democracy and human rights are also

These include consent (Brighouse, 1998: 720-1); authority (Hurd, 1999); justice (Steffek, 2006); the `moral basis for social interaction' (Kelman, 2001: 55); normative belief that a rule or institution must be obeyed (Grafstein, 1981:; popular sovereignty (Beetham, 1991); democracy (Beetham, 1991; Buchanan, and "right" or rightfulness Rousseau, 1968 · Key myth: "international anarchy is the permissive [or underlying] cause of war" (Waltz 1959: 232) orealism: Behaviour of actors in a system dictated by its character hierarchy or anarchy,.

Labour law Essential political economic and legal reforms started after the independence of Lithuania in 1990. Since then the legal system has been reformed to meet the demands of the social and economic changes brought by the return to democracy and the free market economy system.

All employees in Lithuania have equal employment rights, regardless of race, colour, gender, age, disability or sexual orientation.

Mayflower. The two principles later became the bases of the Constitution of the United States. 1) The people would vote about the government and laws, 2) the people would accept whatever the majority chose. 12. What important principle regarding religion was established in Rhode Island and some of the other colonies? Separation of church and state. 13. Name examples of democratic institutions in the colonies. House of Burgesses vs. House of Representatives 14. What is representative democracy? Give an example. The people don’t vote directly on the laws, but elect representatives who meet and vote for them. E.g. current USA, where people elect a president and members of the congress. 15. What is direct democracy? Give an example. All the people of a town/area meet frequently to vote on the laws; only possible in small towns etc. E.g. town meetings in smaller NE towns, referendums. 16. Give examples of why democracy was not always complete in the colonies.
Tallinn, 2014 The institutions of the European Union form a complex and unique polity and, in determining whether or not this structure and the law making powers granted to each respective institution are inherently undemocratic, it is vital to define what is meant by the term ‘democratic’. In his Gettysburg address Abraham Lincoln referred to a government which was ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’and it is by this criterion that democracy is often judged. These principles are reflected in having equal access to power and in being equal before the law. It must be considered not only whether law making powers are granted to elected persons, but also whether the balance of power between institutions within the European Union promotes the ideals of democracy. Firstly,the democratic nature of the European Union must be measured by the extent to which

ühiskondlik kui ka sotsiaalne roll. Haridusel peab olema praktiline väärtus ja väljund, ainuüksi ainete õppimisest ei piisa ning loogiliste seoste loomist ei tohi jätta tahaplaanile- koolis õpitu peab olema kasutatav koolikeskkonnas ja väljaspool. Hariduse praktilisele kasutamisele tähelepanu pööramine aitab ka tõsta õpilaste õpimotivatsiooni. Mõtestatud haridust on selgem põhjendada ning selgitada ja siduda reaalse eluga. 1 Dewey, J. (1922). Democracy and education : an introduction to the philosophy of education. NY: Macmillan, pt 1 Juba 1916.a. väitis Dewey, et kuna elamine tähendab kasvamist, tähendab haridus tingimuste loomist edasisteks õpinguteks. Haridus ei tohiks lõppeda kooli lõpetamisega. Kooli ülesanne on kindlustada hariduse jätkamine läbi inimpotentsiaali avamise kasvuks. Kooli edukaim väljund on luua tingimused, et inimesed oskaksid ja sooviksid õppida elust enesest.

What is wrong with current school education? School education right now, like democracy, is not perfect. It has to be perfected all the time, according to the ways of life, which are always changing. There definately is not a certain perfect solution. Firts problem in current education system coul be that students are put into a „box“. Everyone gets graded by a certain standard, if you can not reach that line, then yo have failed. This is the fairest way, at least in concept. But not all the people have same abilities and strengths.
