About National Democracy Month
Legal , United States
Ends: Sep 30, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Just in case you’ve concluded that the US Senate cannot agree on anything, on September 30, 2021, they did agree to designate September as National Democracy Month.
It is a designation the American Democracy Month Council, a bipartisan group of former diplomats and politicians, has advocated for since 2017. The goal is to educate Americans about their government and increase appreciation for its unique status worldwide. Tools are available on the organization’s website.
HISTORY
Tracing its roots to ancient Greek democracy, the United States has evolved to become a leading democratic republic and a beacon of hope for many nations. This governance model has been replicated globally, yet, as reported by Freedom House, over a third of the world's population still lives in non-free states.
The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, bolstered by the Reconstruction Era amendments, safeguard American citizens' rights, emphasizing the significance of free and fair elections.
However, maintaining democracy requires effort. Various leaders, including former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, have highlighted the importance of nurturing and protecting democratic values. Congressman John R. Lewis underscored that democracy is an ongoing act, while World War II starkly revealed democracy's vulnerabilities.
Historical leaders, such as British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, have voiced the significance of democracy and the education of the populace in upholding it.
The Senate's resolution not only establishes September as a month of reflection on democracy's contributions but also urges states, local governments, and the American people to commemorate it with ceremonies and activities. These events foster appreciation for the U.S. government system and remind Americans of the sacrifices to preserve American freedoms and principles.
