Reader Post | By Avenger1977

A democracy is a political system in which the people periodically by majority vote at the poll select their rulers. The rulers then have absolute power to make whatever laws they please, by majority vote among themselves. In a constitutional republic the people also by majority voters at the polls select rulers who make laws by a majority vote among themselves, but the rulers cannot make any laws they please because the constitution severely restricts their law making power. The ideal of a democracy is universal equality. The ideal of a constitutional republic is individual liberty. In this century great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our republic and transforming it into a democracy. The foremost tactic of the deceivers is subversion of language by calling America a democracy until people thoughtlessly accept and use the term. Totalitarians have obscured the real meaning of American principles of government. Writers of the Constitution were anxious to safeguard liberty against dictatorship, monarchy they called it, but their chief anxiety was to protect the country against democracy. Edmund Randolph, delegate to the Constitutional Convention from Virginia said the general object of the convention was to provide a cure for the follies and fury of democracy.

Elbridge Gary and Roger Sherman, delegates from Massachusetts and Connecticut urged the Constitutional Convention to create a system to eliminate the evils that flow from the excess of democracy. Ā Alexander Hamilton, delegate from New York said we are now forming a republican government, real liberty is not found in democracy if we incline too much to democracy we shall soon shoot into a monarchy

John Adams, one of the giants of the American revolutionary period said democracy will envy all, contend with all, endeavor to pull down all and when by chance it happens to get the upper hand for a short time, democracy will be revengeful, bloody and cruel. America was founded not as a democracy but as a constitutional republic. We pledge allegiance to the republic for which our flag stands, not to a democracy.

The Constitution requires a republican form of government for all states but does not mention democracy and neither does the declaration of independence or the Bill of Rights. Ā Foreman asked him what kind of government the convention had given America and Franklin replied a republic, if you can keep it. Very old and very wise, Franklin saw though the mists of time to the day when Americans might trade their freedom in a constitutional republic for the promise of government guaranteed equality and security in a democracy and beyond that to the day when democracy inevitably degenerates into dictatorship guaranteeing nothing but poverty and serfdom for the people it robs and rules.
