Has Democracy worked for us? NO. then why would it work for the world? America is RIP if Ron Paul donst get elected, and I dont even trust him fully.
Of course not because we're a constitutional republic.lol
Nothing wrong with a democracy. The problem is it comes in all different sizes and shapes. People still call us a democracy because we do resemble one. The only real difference between a constitutional republic and a democracy is that in a democracy you actually get to vote for your leader, we don't.
A true democracy would be great. We get to start voting for out president and I think we should change the constitution to make the house and senate just basically secretarial positions. Let them draft the bills, let voters vote them up or down. You would see the end of 1000 page bills. More than 2 or 3 pages and people would just vote against them which would be good. As long as the Bill of Rights is left intact it doesn't really matter what form of government you have. Governments are not there to grant civil rights they can only inhibit them. In our own constitutional republic the power needs to be transfered back to where our forefathers invisioned it, state power. Cut the federal government by 80% and let the states do there jobs. Corruption is a lot easier to control at the state level than it is at the federal level.
