This is potentially a very broad topic, and certainly one on which
there are many points of view.  How much information do you need, and
how many sources?

well to be exact, this is the question i was given; 
'Imagine you have befriended a recently arrived immigrant.She knows
nothing about the American political system except that she has been
told that the United States is fundamentally a democratic country. She
wants to know how democracy works here. Your job is to educate your
friend about how democratic the American system really is. In your
argument, be sure to address the following: 1)What principles should a
democratic country embrace? 2)How well does the U.S. constitution
enable the U.s. to achieve these principles? 3) What are the links
between citizens and the government? and 4) How well do the national
institutions of goverment serve to bolster democracy?

Your current fee will put exactly one dollar and fifty cents into the
pocket of the professional Researcher who answers your question. You
may want to consider how much work you'd be willing to do for $1.50,
and greatly limit the scope of the question. Alternatively, you may
want to consider raising the price to compensate someone for spending
enough time to provide a comprehensive answer.

Dear helloimmasha, 

I have some knowledge on the principles of democracy and could
probably give you a couple of good sources, on which you could base
your answer. Would that satisfy you?
