Democracy or Republic

[JsJs24]

TweetI wonder how many people actually understand the correct form of our government. Our government is a Republic but sadly the politicians always refer to it as a democracy. How many people even know the difference?

We pledge allegiance to the flag for the Republic for which it stands, not the democracy. This is the plain and simple truth. People need to realize that a democracy will always lead to totalitarianism, regardless of good intentions. When a majority rules with no regard for the Constitution, our rights are consistently stripped from us while the system of checks and balances is ignored. This of course is the way a democracy works. It is always a vote of the majority even though it may take away individual rights. In a republic you cannot pass any bill that violates individual rights, no matter what the majority desires. Think about this, it is a serious issue and one that exists today in our country. The framers went to great lengths to leave the word democracy out of the constitution and said that it is one of the most dangerous forms of government in the world. Just look at England to see how true that is. They make a new law for everything and the individual rights have no place in their system. Check out these two articles to learn more.

Tweetreps to you sir. great post! great attention getter! great information! Keep spreading the word. We were not meant to be a democracy! We...well...our ancestors started the mess. Theodore Roosevelt's progressive movement drastically changed the Republic. FDR forever changed America, and American beliefs for the worse. American citizens took the line and ran...far away from our original state. A Republic. As a Republic state, individual rights are the highest priority, and protection of individual's rights and freedom is the only job for governemt. It didn't take much government to do that. Protect our freedom. Protect our rights. Not to alter either.

And anyone who thinks that governing this and that by making it, or keeping it, illegal is how we keep America in check, and on a better path. Just think back to the time before all this government. Did people have better morals then, or do people have better morals now?
Keep in mind the turn of the 20th century was a time of great government change. The foundation of our government was changing.
