Immigration and the Great Awakening

Immigration added to democracy because of the new views in America and the new needs of the people, some things had to be be changed in order to satisfy the people. This also meant that the people had to be involved politically because if they wanted to live in America and get the rights they came here for, they needed to get involved. Therefore, because of other countries and more diversity, democracy needed to be expanded to all Americans. Immigration was caused by people being ruled unfairly and the people who came from other countries did not want to leave one country where they were controlled completely to another country where they were going to do the same thing. Therefore they spread democracy in order to live in a much better country then the one they had previously left. The Great Awakening also expanded American democracy because the majority of the American population had become involved in religion. This meant a lot of different individuals reviving the same thing, although that also meant that the churches were more liberal and laid back because of the increase of different cultures and people. Also because of the majority in church, it meant that religion could no longer rule the government because so many people had so many different views that it is not possible for everyone to agree onn one religious idea to control the government.
