The Road to Democracy

     Revolutions for democracy can take a turn for the worst when a country is very instable. For example, the revolutions in Egypt from 2011-2013 have proved destructive for the country.
  
    When the Egyptian government had its first democratic election, after the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, it did not end the peoples protest. Mohammed Morsi won the election of 2012 but gave himself more power than the people liked, so the protests began. In these different protest there was always a few or more people who were killed by the military or injured by them. These protests eventually led to the removal of Morsi by the military. Which leads to the deaths of Morsis' loyalists.
   
     In a leap for democracy the Egyptian people have undergone great amount of deaths of the protestors and civilians who have wanted change. During their first election the people should have been more informed due to their objections to most of the new presidents' powers. Their actions were justified in the sense that they did not want another president with too much power but the people should have gone about it in a different manner. The way they went about taking Morsi out of office was not a smart move because t ultimately suspended their constitution and created chaos.
