Most of these democratic nations such as the United States and Britain were strong enough to spread influence to eastern countries such as Japan and even China. There are, however, questions that arise as to why these democratic practices have been set up and even copied throughout the world. The biggest questions dealing with this situation are, is a democracy so much better than other political and governmental setups in the world, and if so, why' To estimate the performance of any political or legal institutions in society, many factors must first be considered. In a successful political and legal institution, all of these factors are present. In a prosperous institution such as the United States there is a clearly defined middle class. While in Brazil there is a rich class and a poor class, with no clearly labeled group of middle class people. A lack of black markets is a factor that promotes political and legal success.
