Ques. 3One of the main constitutional changes in the American system of government over the years has been a shift from the purely republican system of government created by the framers, to a system that is much more democratic. The voting base has been extended, giving more people a direct voice in their government. For instance, the Seventeenth Amendment provided for the direct popular election of the Senate, the Nineteenth Amendment extended the right to vote to women, and the Twenty-sixth Amendment extended the vote to citizens age eighteen and over. Finally, fewer representatives now act as independent trustees, choosing instead to serve as delegates instructed by the voters through public opinion polls, mail counts, and the media. In these ways, the American republic has indeed approached democracy.
