Key point is we are a conglomeration of 50 states that each individually have their own laws that are not covered by what is given to the federal gov't by the constitution.

Yes, states can have their individual laws but they must be supported by our federal constitutional law. Another words, they cannot be in any way against our Constitutional rights, that takes precedence overall.

A republic no man or group of men can take the rights of another man. A democracy is mob rule where 2 can take the freedoms of one. They are nothing alike.

Absolutely right! As Ben Franklin so bluntly put it "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb v****g on what to have for lunch."

Seen this?

I think it describes the different political systems very well, and provides a new outlook on the differences.

I was only kidding about her longevity, no nastiness intended. God bless her, she's seen a lot come and go. She must be doing something right.

I am actually having trouble coming up with a single example of a society that practices full democracy....

Perhaps it would help if we defined what a complete democracy is...

There are quite a number of flaws in this video, created by who? What credible person?

Thanks for emphasizing that. Absolutely correct in vast majority of situations.

Destroy the constitution? The constitution has been amended any number of times without resulting in its destruction and as you pointed out it takes more than a simple majority to make any changes. And if we look at the last e******ns where conservatives prevailed it was by losing the majority so your only hope in maintaining power is by antiquated principles of the constitution. My suggestion is that it's not the constitution that you care about but your only hope at maintaining power. It's power that you seek which is no reason to leave the constitution unchanged...

But it's the Demo's that want to do away with the E*******l College as well as pack the Supreme Court with more liberal judges they want to allow i******s to have v****g rights there seems to be no end to their madness !

Looks to me that the real destroyers of the Constitution are the progressive l*****t liberals

The Soviet Union made the same claim... But allowed only limited v****g and no opposition to the dominant party...

North Korea is not worth mentioning...

America, in that it gives a v**e to all adult members of society and allows for multiple parties and even individual candidates to run for office is closer to a complete democracy than any of the above mentioned nations...

Yet it is the only "democracy" that has adulterated the one person one v**e concept.

You consider centrist judges who would not see eye to eye with the hard right side of the bench to be liberals. The bench needs more centrists, and it should be a standard and rule, and would if it takes a 2/3rds v**e.
