This country can be defined as three different models of democracy including elite,  participatory, and pluralist. I believe that we are a pluralist democracy and the next paragraph will explain how and why I believe this.

 I believe that our government is under a pluralist democracy because in the U.S. various groups guide to exert political influence on plitical decision making for example what is happening in the U.S. today with gun laws and the NRA is the political group that is part of that. Another example of this is stated in the Constitution in Article 2 which reads that there is a whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled to. Which is stated in a puralist democracy that there is no single view point and there are many Representatives and Senators today that can come to an agreement about various laws that should be passed within the sate or the country in a whole.

In conclusion I feel that the puralist democracy is the democracy that represents the U.S. as a whole today. With things said in the Constitution how each state has a representative as they do today and how there is no one view point and how there are various groups that settle on different political issues like the NRA. All in all the puralist democracy shows how there are various compromises and that is what our government does today.
