All students: Check out the header
Just posted a great quote from one of the truly great presidents. Just in case you forget to look at the header.....
Q) How could you incorporate the quote into an essay?
Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt and Lincoln. Something to do with the democratic deficit: 'Thomas Jefferson once stated that, if the people of a democracy are not enlightened enough to utilise true democracy, "the remedy is not to take power from them, but to inform them by education". Discuss this statement with regards to the democratic deficit in the UK.'
