Important reason unproductive class calls the USA a democracy and not republic…
I must have missed where it said in the pledge of allegiance; “and to the DEMOCRACY for which it stands”…🤡
Oh that’s right kids don’t even say it anymore so how would they know?
People get confused because we aren’t taught civics, old stories, the pledge of allegiance or any historical information of use.
Maybe that’s what Michelle Obama was referring to when she said this:
More focused on CRT and rewriting history to the globalists liking or so it makes us “feel” better.
This is why democracy is always used instead of republic.
It’s easy to get a 51-49 vote to change anything on a whim.
Democracy is more emotional and less logical.
This is what allows things like the electoral college “be up for debate,” because the average person has no idea why we have our system and how it protects them.
It’s a psy-op to get you used to hearing it over and over so you just think it’s normal.
It’s working.
It is important to distinguish that the United States is a republic and not a democracy.
That ensures that the rights and protections of all citizens are upheld, rather than just the will of the majority.
In a pure democracy, the majority would have complete control over the government and the rights of the minority would not be protected.
In contrast, a republic is a form of government in which power is held by elected representatives and the laws are made according to a constitution, which serves as the supreme law of the land.
One of the most important aspects of the United States being a republic is the protection of individual rights and freedoms.
The Constitution of the United States outlines the rights and freedoms of citizens, such as the right to free speech, freedom of religion, and the right to bear arms, among others.
These rights are protected by the Constitution and cannot be taken away by the government or the majority.
This is crucial in a society where people have different beliefs, opinions, and lifestyles.
The United States is also a federal republic
This means that power is divided between the federal government and the individual states.
This allows for a balance of power and ensures that the government does not become too centralized.
The states are able to make their own laws and regulations within the boundaries set by the federal government, and this allows for a more diverse and decentralized government.
This is important for the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens, as it allows for different regions to have different laws and regulations that reflect their specific needs and values.
Another important aspect of the United States being a republic is the rule of law.
The Constitution and the laws of the United States are applied to all citizens, regardless of their social status, race, or religion.
This ensures that everyone is held accountable for their actions and that no one is above the law.
This is crucial for a society to function in a just and fair way.
In addition, the United States being a republic also ensures that the government is accountable to the people.
The government is elected by the people and is accountable to them through regular elections.
This allows for the citizens to have a say in who governs them and to hold their representatives accountable for their actions.
This is important for the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens, as it ensures that the government is responsive to their needs and concerns.
In conclusion…
The only thing democracy has in common with a republic is that it’s both using “free and fair” elections to obtain its government.
It is important to distinguish that the United States is a republic and not a democracy because it ensures that the rights and protections of ALL citizens are upheld.
The Constitution of the United States serves as the supreme law of the land and outlines the rights and freedoms of citizens, which are protected by the government.
The United States being a federal republic also allows for a balance of power and ensures that the government is accountable to the people.
The rule of law ensures that everyone is held accountable for their actions and that no one is above the law.
All of these factors are crucial for the protection of the rights and freedoms of all citizens, and for the functioning of a just and fair society.
