A child learns the meaning of democracy in D.C.

Before visiting Washington, D.C., my 5-year-old daughter, Paris, didn't even know what democracy is, as she says in the beginning of the video above. But by the end of our trip, she had grasped the meaning or at least she knew that it had something to do with George Washington, the Declaration of Independence, Susan B. Anthony, the Constitution, the Lincoln Memorial, the American flag, and so many of the other things we saw and learned about over three days.
