The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle - Chapter 3 2. What did Captain Jaggery mean when he said, “we shall have no democracy here”?

When Captain Jaggery said, "we shall have no democracy here," he meant that there would be no equal say or power among the crew members onboard the ship. He was emphasizing that he held all the authority and control, and that his decisions were to be followed without question or debate. By stating this, Captain Jaggery made it clear that he expected absolute obedience and loyalty from his subordinates, and any notion of democracy or equality would not be tolerated.
