Such a statement is laughable.
If that were true, we would not be a Republic.
Our education system really sucks.
You don't even know what qualifies us as being a Republic?
Are you drunk ?
And while you are showing me how you are smarter than Madison, why don't you explain the purpose behind our current electoral system...or why Senators (1/2 of congress) were originally appointed by the states.
I look forward to it.
not yet.
I support the electoral college system. I also support the amendment that opened the way for the popular election of the upper chamber.
I support the US Constitution as a pretty good document, flaws and all.
I think our system of government is doing just fine. I think the process of governing, which the major parties and the US House and US Senate control, is in trouble.
Money and power corrupts, but only people vote. When we abrogate our duty to be involved in the process of elections and governing we cede authority to money and an Oligarchy.
The system is fine, the process has been corrupted.
