  • Опубликовано: 17 авг 2024
  • We continue our 360° Perspective coverage of the Electoral College and the National Popular Vote bill that's headed to Governor Jared Polis' desk. We've gone over the history of the Electoral College and now, after many of you asked, we're taking a look at why it matters and how the United States is a Democratic Republic, not a direct Democracy.

    We Do Not live in a democracy.
    We live in a Constitutional Republic.
    It's important to know the difference.
    In a democracy, the sovereignty is in the whole body of the citizens. The sovereignty is not divided to smaller units such as individual citizens. To solve a problem, only the whole body politic is authorized to act. Also, being citizens, individuals have duties and obligations to the government. The governments only obligations to the citizens are those legislatively pre-defined for it by the whole body politic.
    In a Republic, the sovereignty resides in the Free People themselves, whether one or many. In a Republic, one may act on his/her own or through representatives as they choose to solve a problem. Further, the People have no obligation to the government; instead, the government being hired by the People, is obliged to its owner, We the People. (See 10th Amendment if you do not know.)
    “A Constitutional Republic” is a government created and controlled, at least, by the Law of a Constitution.
    (See Article IV, Section 4)
    The Constitution of the United States of America was, in Law, foundationally based on the Bible, the Magna Carta, and the Declaration of Independence. Those documents known as the Charters of Freedom, recognize mans sovereignty, the Divine nature of mans creation and mans divine right to Life, Liberty, Property, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
    (Our Constitution was made only for a Moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.)

      Let me help educate you a little bit:
      Demos = Citizen.
      Ochlos = Mob.
      Cracia = Rule.
      Democracy = Citizens rule.
      Ochlocracy = Mob rule.

      At the close of the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787, as Benjamin Franklin left the hall in Philadelphia, he was asked, “What kind of government have you given us, Dr. Franklin?” He replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
      "It is one of the evils of democratical governments, that the people, not always seeing and frequently misled, must often feel before they can act right; but then evil of this nature seldom fail to work their own cure." (George Washington in 1786 letter to Marquis De Lafayette)

    Technically speaking, we have a Constitutional Republic
    The Declaration of Independence declared the Inalienable Rights of Sovereign Individuals, and that the purpose of government is to secure those inalienable rights and that the sovereign individuals delegate authority to government for that purpose. Government can claim no power which one sovereign can't claim over another. Therefore, government cannot legally do something to me which I cannot legally do unto another.
    Much of what government does is a violation of our inalienable rights and unlawful.

      Excellently put! I might add though that loyalty first and foremost should be to recognizing that individual sovereignty is a recognized trait and quality that is not taught, but that of instilled nurturing. Like commonsense, can not be taught, but it can be permeated upon, inspired, imbued, instilled upon an individual. This is where the true essence of individual sovereignty is molded. Character of a sovereign individual is the same. A molded quality of caring individuals whom understand where true life liberty and pursuit of happiness really lies.

    The United States of America is not a democracy; it’s a Constitutional Federal Republic!
    While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the supreme law of the United States. The Constitution not only provides the framework for how the federal and state governments are structured, but also places significant limits on their powers. “Federal” means that there is both a national government and governments of the 50 states. A “republic” is a form of government in which the people hold power, but elect representatives to exercise that power. - U.S. Government

    In a republic the sovereign recognized individuals are in charge and the government is subordinate to carry out representation of the sovereign recognized individuals. in a democracy government is assigned to choose for the individuals in a subordinate role. In a republic people as individuals choose, in a democracy the electoral choose according to majority. In a republic the individual takes responsibility of one's self and imparted actions (consequences includes). In a democracy rule is implemented for the whole (consequences included). In essence, a Republic is sovereign individuals being responsible, in a democracy the governing body chosen is responsible. It's been perverted for some time what we are... The truth is we as individuals are not a 'form of governance'. In reality we choose the form of governance that best represents us, should we imbue the very characteristics of responsible individuals first.

      @@fleebertreatise1063 No. Because collectively, the judicial/courts wanted to maintain/adhere to the legal protocols rather than break steps that would potentially create a political chaos. It meant, not one had taking the initiative to break step and see what is going on. For lack of a better term, the system lacked legal fortiutde. "No standing" was the safe route, but it certainly does not and I repeat, it DOES NOT mean the request to present "evidence" is dismissed because there was no evidence. In short, "No Standing" does not mean "No Evidence". Attorney Generals don't just come together and submit a bunch of stuff when their job is on the line. They submit affidavits (people's account of the event, and they are willing to testify under the crime of perjury, and there were thousands of affidavits), forensic and material evidence to establish reasonable doubt/cause for the court to review as evidence for further legal verification. Arrests were made, all people needed to do is to search. But because it's Trump, the nation refused the due rigor and diligence for legal integrity simply because it was someone the establishment/public did not approve. Trump never got his day to show what he and all the AGs had. The due process means anyone who is accused of a crime get a legal benefit of the doubt about the accuser to prove the accused of crime. Not only he was denied this right, the media simply claimed there is nothing when we were not even allow seeing what he has. This is simply unacceptable and biased, to say the least. And as we all know, this was the fuse that led to the protests on Jan 6 (a lawful event but unlawful actions by some as the day went on).

    Here’s the thing about a democracy the definition and the word itself is so abstract that anybody can call anything a democracy even the Chinese government called her self a democracy either and the Soviet union called itself a democracy even North Korea calls itself a democracy whatever the definition may be democracies inevitably fail fail fail as soon as the majority figures out that they can vote for a living instead of working for a living. What happens is the majority the people don’t want to work for a living instead they vote for people in laws that put money in their pockets instead of doing their fair share in society they become decorate and lazy while you still have wealthy people and people that do work hard those people are the ones that suffer because now they have to work harder they have to pay more to support the people that don’t want to work so they get disgruntled and either quit altogether they quit producing they hide their money or just leave the country then the people that refuse to work don’t have anybody to prop them up so next time you know it there’s food shortages famines and starvation and those turn to civil unrest then on top of that there’s people that want to grab power so they use that opportunity that little bit of chaos to seize power in the democracy has successfully reverted to an oligarchy then the new ruler puts the freeloaders in line that is a summarization how a democracy fails and it’s destined to fail

      Democracy is government by the consensus of the majority only. Republic means there is a Constitution and the laws that give the people the power to safeguard a government from expanding into big government and preserve the rights for minority. Which part did you not understand? It has always been this way, before any of modern day news station came to existence. What dictatorship garbage are you referring to? The republic was specifically to prevent one centralized authority like the British's monarch. You sound so warped with that dictatorship garbage! Just straight up garbage! Immigrants have to study this before they become US citizens, and Americans fro previous generations have gotten this and here your thinking it's propaganda. You don't even know what democracy is do you? Democracy is NOT and NEVER WAS the source of the nation's founding framework/power source. It is just not. READING THE F DOCUMENT!

      ​@@dasteufelhund 1) I'm sorry, that I'm ruining your "belief superiority", but democracy has different meanings. It depends on what community you ask. Members of American conservative cult think, that it's "government by the consensus of the majority only". But the whole scientific world on the planet define democracy as form of government, where people have right to decide legislation or elect government. Opposite to dictatorship, where people can not influence on laws and officials.
      2) "Republic means there is a Constitution and the laws that give the people the power to safeguard a government from expanding into big government and preserve the rights for minority." - hilarious sample of propaganda. Here is an old soviet anecdote.
      USSR. Elementary school. Teacher asks:
      "Children, what country has the most beautiful toys?"
      Children (in chorus): "In the Soviet Union!"
      Educator "And at what country are the most elegant children's clothes?"
      Children (in chorus): "In the Soviet Union!"
      Educator: “And at what country is the happiest childhood?”
      Children (in chorus): "In the Soviet Union!"
      Suddenly one student began to cry. .
      Teacher: "Why are you crying?"
      The student (through tears): “I want to live in the Soviet Union!”
      So do be like this children, saying "In Republic!" and GET F EDUCATION.

    Democracy is merely the principle while Republic is a specific type of state governance which is fairly reflective of true freedom due to a balanced division of powers, not perfect but ideal.
    Democracy will fail in a country full of non thinking sheeple citizens that can be easily manipulated by propagandist media, indoctrination by education system and electing Machiavellian politicians.
    Nonetheless, USA despite a Republic, individual rights were severely compromised during this "covert-19 plandemic scare scam"....a clear violation of the constitutional rights of citizens by state governments.

    'Demos' is the Greek word for the People. ‘Kratia' is the Greek word for Power or Rule. 'Theos' is the Greek word for God. 'Democracy' therefore means The People Rule, and 'Theocracy' means God rules. Look at the result of people ruling themselves - war, poverty, starvation, crime, greed, inequality, hatred, slavery, sickness, and ultimately death. Democracy isn't working. In fact, the notion that people can rule themselves is the exact same lie that Satan told Eve in the garden of Eden.

Democracy and republic are two very different frameworks. The United States is a Constitutional Republic. With the laws and a Constitution (not laws = constitution) The Constitution in itself is the basis of a separate set of all other laws. Before people make any decision, the Constitution is already there to guide as the basis, and do not allow any circumvent by the people. If any, the US is a republic democracy.

    Both democracies and republics encompass many positives and negatives; the key issue with democracies is, as the video suggests, the majority has complete power. The issue with republics, particularly when you look at the United States, is that reliance on a constitution often leads to restriction on significant reform - for instance, welfare or gun laws. Useful video, nevertheless.

    A government "of the people, for the people, by the people" is the simplest and best constitutional definition of democracy in the world. You are both a democracy and a republic. Being a Republic refers to the institutions and mechanisms of governance. There are communist republics, monarchist republics, democratic republics, military republics. You have a democratic constitutional republic. Please refer to more accurate and intelligent sources than this video. Democracy literally means people power. The people run government by proxy representatives from among themselves, chosen by the people.
    Those who deny that you are a democracy, seek to install tyranny. But how will American people recognize tyranny if they don't understand the
    terms democracy v tyranny v anarchy etc. Your people are politically illiterate. Now I understand why you have anti democratic forces in your country like neo nazis and facists. They don't understand that democracy is embedded in your constitution. Democracy is the foundation for freedom..End democracy and your country is no better than Russia, worse even.
    I dread the day when we in Canada literally have to call on Russia or China to protect our border from American tyranny.
    But if you insist you are not democratic, then please stop trying to quote 'make the world safe for democracy ' and don't emigrate to Canada. We are a democracy here.

Also Nobles could come in your house or on to your property and take whatever they want to when they wanted to and leave you and your family with nothing that’s one the right to keep and bear arms is so important giving up anything as far as that goes will not keep you safe it will only ensure your abusers have the means to abuse you further like look at Cambodia or Venezuela people handed over their weapons the government took those weapons and armed violent street gangs and paid them to terrorize the citizens.
