An Imperfect Democracy is What Makes it a Perfect One

Having studied profoundly the American democracy, I find its genius was not in its original design (notwithstanding its brilliance), but rather in its ability to continuously reinvent and realign itself with its north star- the interests of its citizens.

A democracy, very much like a plane, is statically imperfect and weighs heavy. Its perfection comes only when it is in flight, weighing as much as feather, with all its elements in harmonious balance, and transporting it to a destination it will never reach.
