Fate of Democracy

Respond in 400 words to John Adams (our 2nd president) famous quote about Democracy.  The  quote is:


“Democracy ... while it lasts, is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”

Think of it as a free write.  You will probably have to have an understanding of what an aristocracy and a monarchy is.
