Democracy and Consent in America
America has been democratic ever since, democracy remained part of education that was given to all citizens to ensure that democratic aspect remain in them. It is with this attitude that their democracy is being adapted to other countries. Formation of government is also democratic. America developed this democratic system of governance from the early government systems. America is using a form of leadership that encouraged representation of groups of people which allowed the needs of people to be met. This form of governance was developed was made so as to prevent the development of hereditary monarchy (Quesada, 50). Many countries are adopting this system because it contains checks and balances that ensured that power was not entirely centralized. It is a good mode of governance since it includes consent in government policies. Democratic and Consent form of governance has been copied to provide vital structure of governance in many other countries, because it gives a large population of people a chance to engage in political issues in America.
American democratic leadership includes the heritage of ethical values, political systems, religious beliefs, customs and social norms of the society have been adopted into the modern world. Currently, traits that define civilization are prominent subcultures, political pluralism and cultural syncretism which have spread all over the world as a result of migration and cross cultural contact (Weindling, 180). America has therefore created a consent and democratic governance. The nature of American culture absorbed new religion cultural practices from the neighboring countries and states. The culture has served as a foundation for modern form of governance. American culture was formed on a basis of the Leninist doctrine in which the public must be restricted for their individual benefits in a democratic space. This theory gives no room for external forces. This marks the beginning of journey in transforming consent among the American people.
America has been democratic despite its setbacks. Democracy has remained part of education that is given to all citizens to ensure that democratic aspect remain in them. It is with this attitude that their democracy adapted to other cultures including Western forms of government. Politics must be devoid of any influence from the public and the public should be put in their right place and their role should only be that of spectatorship (Allison and Beschel, 200). Formation of government was also democratic. America developed this democratic system of governance since it has the ability to lead a large group of people. It is using a form of leadership that encouraged representation of groups of people which allowed the needs of people to be met. This form of governance was developed to ensure representation for all. In the modern America, there has been a series of human influence that have shaped the democratic status of the country. It was made so as to prevent the development of hereditary monarchy. It uses this form because it contains checks and balances that ensured that power was not entirely centralized. Democracy and consent gives a large population of people a chance to engage in political issues of the country.
Their hegemony has increased the pace and scope of economy and the cultural activities across the space. This has been viewed in the trends of the U.S. government since the 1980s. They have done this by imposing unilateral military and economic action and have refused to engage in the world environmental treaties or even participate in International Criminal Court. When representing U.S foreign policy to imperialism is to imply the opposite. This is because the imperialist’s strategy whatever its successes may apparently be runs against the American policies that they have brought to the world in the resent past. This is in terms of ideas in the past century and practices concerning the centrality of market place society to social life. The central market example is not only a package of ideas but it includes a set of social practices where the market behavior tends to go against the communal and the state-mandated behaviors like the social standard. Chomsky argues that the aspect of neo-liberalism in terms of consent and democracy gives high regards to rulers and shows that the principle of consent is not violated when the sovereigns compel plans that are declined by the subjects (Chomsky, 304). On the contrary on the subject of neo-liberalism and global order, Brazell asserts that the democratic world has allowed consent that governs a country (Brazell, 150).
It is in the United States that such a marketplace society first took root as a mass unlike the elite phenomenon. It assumes that physical force can be at times unstable and it is sometimes necessary to form one rule. One can make an argument American independence was an early manifestation of the rumblings of a developing marketplace society against an excessive command system or imperialism. From this point of view we can say that American society is owed much more by the content of the American hegemony due to the machinations of an often incoherent, incompetent, corrupt, and bewildered American state. This can also be explained in terms of the contemporary international relations theories. The U.S administration is using a combination of concepts from the international relations theories (Weindling, 195). Despite using them, they tend to contradict one another so as to effectively shape realities, create opportunities and counter challenges. Democratic and Consent form of governance has been copied to provide vital structure of governance in many other countries, because it gives a large population of people a chance to engage in political issues in America.
Consent being an intelligent and wishful thinking, is opposed to tyranny that dictates the wishful thinking of the people. On the issue of democracy, various subjects come into play a major concern lies in the formulation of policies. This makes it is essential for people to be actively involved. Modern America has a series of human influence that have shaped the democratic status of the country. The democratic administration has been faced with mass discontent. American democratic system entails governance policy whereby all citizens of a country have the same opportunities in decision making. Essentially, this form of government allows equal representation in the policy formulation. Its democracy is believed to be an inclusive method of administration which encompasses social, cultural and economic sectors. American driving force in its form of government is free and fairness. Finally, America uses consent which entails rationale and consideration.
American government act like it is in control and practices enough intellectual competence to make an intelligent choice. This exhibits consent by undertaking an act complemented by other countries trying to emulate their systems. Its consent system takes shape of a physical supremacy and thoughtful, decisive and unhampered application of its powers. Democratic and Consent form of governance has been copied to provide vital structure of governance in many other countries, because it gives a large population of people a chance to engage in political issues in America. It is evident that this form of governance helps to prevent the development of hereditary monarchy. America uses this form because it contains checks and balances that ensured that power is not entirely centralized. Democracy and consent government therefore gives its large population, a chance to engage in political issues of the country.

This book asserts the importance of procedure and gives direction before a patient enters an operation room. It explains that it is essential that the patient should be aware of the implications so as to reduce and minimize conflicts between the healthcare providers and patients. All parties should be aware of their consents. Additionally a patient has a right to select a surgeon and to decline or allow if there may be substitutes. The book argues that the widely accepted theory has both its strengths and weakness. It exhibits strength on the side of the government as it supports that individuals should be governed.

In The Origins of Informed Consent: the International Scientific Commission on Medical War Crimes, and the Nuremburg code, Weindling, asserts that tyrannical states can employ the use of force, but when the resources of war are limited in number, the consent for the governed is obliged to acquire devices via progressive and liberal opinion. These are major milestones in addressing this issue of consent. He concludes that there is the need of public participation in policy formulation and gives the reason for failure in full attainment of democracy in Argentina.
