Letter: Democracy or theocracy?
(Scott Sommerdorf | Tribune file photo) The Salt Lake LDS Temple and the Utah State Capitol are seen together, Wednesday, July 26, 2017.
Democracy: A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
Theocracy: A system of government in which priests rule in the name of God or a god.
Based on the past, and refreshed by the Utah Legislature’s rejection of the voters’ approval of Propositions 2 and 3, under which form of government we live is glaringly apparent.
