The American Dream has always consisted of the ideal that the common people of this country were able to participate in the government and to have their voices heard. Unlike the monarchies of Europe or the totalitarian states of communism and fascism the democracy that has been employed in America allows for all peoples to choose who is to run the country. Foreigners flock to America because in this nation people are able to choose their leader instead of being forced to follow the rules of a leader who does not represent the people. This system has also created leaders who are forced to listen to his people because if he doesn?t the people have the power to remove and elect a new ruler. The democracy in America is one of the greatest reasons that, when concerning America, foreigners do not want to remain foreigners and become members of a country that allows political power to all those who want it.
But the process that has been installed the eliminate corruption in our society has been corrupted. Many times voting has been restricted few of the masses. In the very birth of our nation only men with land were able to vote. It wasn?t until Andrew Jackson when the common man started to vote. Yet still only the white men were able to vote. It wasn?t until the 20th century that black men were allowed to vote after being subject to unfair tests that would keep the black populist out of the voting booths and out of power. Then it took an even longer time for the women?s right to vote. The ideals behind the American Dream, in which all where able to participate in voting was not true until the very late 20th century.
The one consecutive truth of the American Dream is that all people eventually get accepted into our nation. The Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, African, German, Middle Eastern, and all other peoples managed to eventually, through a long struggle, get accepted as an American. Today when the question is asked where are you ancestors an amalgamation of countries is stated by many individuals. Americans consist of every nation of the world and thus something about the American Dream is a truth. People from everywhere come to America in search of something and get satisfied with what they find. The American Dream though corrupted a lot, is still not a hoax and never will be as America entertains the most diversity, whether or not it accepts the diversity, than any other nation that exists today or has every existed.
