Awakening and Immigration

The Great Awakening and immigration contributed to a more democratic society in the American Colonies by bringing about more ideas and opinions through a more diverse culture. Democracy is about electing officials based on their ideas and opinions and how they feel about the issues at hand in politics. By having a more diverse population that originated in different countries, they brought ideas from their countries that they could put into use here in America. By having more diverse religious backgrounds, people were compelled to vote more to see that an official of their denomination would be in office.
