Questions Possibly Related to Black Jack, MissouriProvided By Y! Answers
define what politics is and what politics isn't?
Question:
Should community leaders ( councilman & alderman ) sanction local ordinances even if the mass community is in disagreement. The majority of citizen in Black Jack, Missouri do not share the opinion of the Black Jack city council as it relates to the definition of family. . The coucil did not ask the citizen that put them into office how they feel about the current definition or the decsision not to change the definition. I hope the State legislators come forward and rectify this situation for all parties involved.
Answer:
Politics is the candidates' quest to persuade the voters to elect him/her. The ad campaigns, news conferences, and the debates. The ordinances you mentioned is the legislative process of governing. The constituents can only influence, not control, the way an elected official governs. If the community gets angry enough at the leaders, the community will vote them out of the next election. This is the system of a republic as opposed to pure democracy, which is simply majority rule, as seen in California's proposition system.
