We are a Representative Republic not a Democracy just in case it you haven't figured it out yet

 

[DiamondDave]

Well... considering they DID NOT CREATE A FUCKING DEMOCRACY... and they held things such as private property rights in high regard, the question pretty much answers itself

Neither. They chose a Republic because it was the best form of government to ensure we had freedom in our life, including freedom in economics, aka Capitalism.

The real question is do you want freedom or do you want the government controlling everything?

You've clearly chosen the latter.

Democracy.

We were primarily an agrarian society and founders were rebelling against the rule of a monarchy.

I think this is the fastest I have ever seen TM owned in one of her spam threads. This is also why I can't put TM on ignore, you can't pay people to be this stupid, and it's funny as hell to see.

Oh, and btw TM. What you've present here is what we call a false dichotemy. That means you falsely present two choices as though they are the only choices and mutually exclusive. That's not the case here.

You do realize that present people with false choices is a lie dont you? You might want to rethink your thread's premise if you care at all about the truth. But considering that you havent demonstrated any evidence of ever caring about the truth, I hardly think you will listen to me. It's a shame though. I just want you to be honest.

I think she owns herself sometimes.

Representative democracy involves the selection of government officials by the people being represented. If the head of state is also democratically elected then it is called a democratic republic.[55] The most common mechanisms involve election of the candidate with a majority or a plurality of the votes.

Democracy.

We were primarily an agrarian society and founders were rebelling against the rule of a monarchy.

Which is why they forumed a constitutional republic instead of a democracy. They wanted the minority to be protected from the majority which is why we DO NOT have a democracy.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on whats for dinner, liberty is a well armed lamb contesting that outcome -Benjamin Franklin.
