    A very naive and skewed perception of history... The word "Democracy" appears nowhere in The Constitution.
    Article IV Section 4 does say the Federal Government should "Guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.
    "In a democracy, two wolves and a sheep take a majority vote on what’s for supper, while in a Constitutional Republic, the wolves are forbidden to vote on what’s for supper, and the sheep are well armed." - Benjamin Franklin
    “Democracies, have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death.” - James Madison
    "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine." -Thomas Jefferson
    "Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide." - John Adams
    "We are now forming a Republican form of government. Real liberty is not found in the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments. If we incline too much to democracy we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of a dictatorship."4 Hamilton, in the last letter he ever wrote, warned that "our real disease…is DEMOCRACY." - Alexander Hamilton

    I don’t understand the issue with presenting history so that it is useful to the reader of it. We tell the stories of leaders and inventors and thinkers primarily because we view them as having shaped history, we tell the stories of groups or factions of people as well. We do not tell the story of a single hydrogen atom throughout that same period. There is so much information that we could include but don’t so obviously what we do tell must be planned with some utility in mind.
    Presenting history so that it advances your new ideology creates revisionism, but there’s nothing wrong with a country telling its own history as a means of justifying its existence.

    How did a colony of Britain defeat the King and the best navy without a boat? Well the Treaty of Paris explains it within the first 2 paragraphs. War? What war? Whose to profit and reserved all mineral and land rights?Who dictated the terms? Who had to pay for the cost of both sides of this "insurrection"? This guy is a joke, the CONstitution was an ultimatum, and the consequences of it's adoption were in fact written about in the various writings of the anti federalists. He should read them, and comprehend why they wrote under pen names. The U.S. was a conglomeration of the trading company's owned by private shareholders and ultimately their creditors[From across the pond] once the debt was defaulted upon. So did we gain independence? Well I think the anti federalist predicted the outcome. By the way, they never were givin the authority to throw out the articles and ADOPT a new contract. We get told our history and believe it. It's time we learn about human nature, and quit being enslaved by it and learn the facts before believing what's told. That goes double for me, I'm an idiot.

      I've gradually become a monarchist in some ways too. Democracy creates a couple huge problems. It makes it so that there is a constant battle for our minds... but worse than that... the battle for our minds is to weaponize our minds and bodies to wage war on our neighbours to conquer their minds and bodies as well. But probably even worse... I think most people simply do not want to actually be responsible for the decisions of government, which is why we can choose as a nation to constantly be waging war as long as we don't personally have to fight in them (for most of us)... and since we don't want to personally be responsible for government... democratic governments will always be irresponsible. We're better off being commonly oppressed by one dude and collectively hating him and commonly revolting against him at some point... rather than being in the constant grind of oppressing one another.
