Why We Are a Republic, Not a Democracy
Yet most us grow up with our teachers telling us that we are a “democracy.”
We are not. We are a republic. And that is very different from a democracy.
(From The Daily Signal)
But the Founding Fathers went to great lengths to ensure that we were a republic and not a democracy. In fact, the word democracy does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or any other of our founding documents.
How about a few quotations expressed by the Founders about democracy?
In Federalist Paper No. 10, James Madison wanted to prevent rule by majority faction, saying, “Measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.”
John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
Edmund Randolph said, “That in tracing these evils to their origin, every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy.”

A republic?
You mean like China or Taiwan?
This is obviously bullshit. The united states is and has been from inception a country that has the physical layout of a republic but the governmental and statutory system that is democratic.
In theory according to the founding fathers intents.
In reality, we are a fascist nation with some halfassed laughable imagined freedom.
This is a country owned and operated by money. And the corporations who control the money. And the government.
