Florida abortion rights amendment proposal looks likely to appear on ballot

The US is a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY

Depends how you look at it.

What type of government is the US, exactly?​

To be very specific, the United States could be defined as a “federal constitutional representative democracy.” You might also call it a “federal constitutional republic.” Let’s break those terms down.

Constitutional: Our system of government is considered constitutional, because the power exercised by the people and their representatives is bound by the constitution and the broader rule of law.

Federal: Our government is also a federal system, since power is shared between a national government, representing the entire populace, and regional and local governments.

These two terms can come in handy when you want to get really exact with your description. It’s accurate to call our government a “federal constitutional republic” or a “federal constitutional democracy,” but it’s probably overkill to be that specific. These terms just help us further define our governmental structure, especially when comparing the United States to other countries.

Is the United States a democracy or a republic?

Our American Government​

The foundation of our American Government, its purpose, form and structure are found in the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution, written in 1787, is the "supreme law of the land" because no law may be passed that contradicts its principles. No person or government is exempt from following it.
The Constitution establishes a federal democratic republic form of government. That is, we have an indivisible union of 50 sovereign States. It is a democracy because people govern themselves. It is representative because people choose elected officials by free and secret ballot. It is a republic because the Government derives its power from the people.
The purpose of our Federal Government, as found in the Preamble of the Constitution, is to "establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity." In order to achieve this purpose the Founding Fathers established three main principles on which our Government is based:

• Inherent rights: Rights that anyone living in America has;
• Self Government: Government by the people; and
• Separation of Powers: Branches of government with different powers.

Our American Government

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :

In the United States, politics functions within a framework of a constitutional federal republic and presidential system, with three distinct branches that share powers: the U.S. Congress which forms the legislative branch, a bicameral legislative body comprising the House of Representatives and the Senate; the executive branch, which is headed by the president of the United States, who serves as the country's head of state and government; and the judicial branch, composed of the Supreme Court and lower federal courts, and which exercises judicial power.

There you go Dildoalex.

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the supreme law of the United States. The Constitution not only provides the framework for how the federal and state governments are structured, but also places significant limits on their powers. “Federal” means that there is both a national government and governments of the 50 states. A “republic” is a form of government in which the people hold power, but elect representatives to exercise that power.

U.S. Government

Bu-bu-bu-bu-but.....


No kidding?

Says he who is up to his ass in an Islamic takeover of his country.....


No kidding?

Yep. A republic is a form of democracy.

In an academic setting, if you assume them as exclusive, the you have to call the US a Democratic Republic. It depends on the context. But you're wrong in any context.

 

[Delldude]

You ChristoMAGAs fucked up and put Trump and abortion in the ballot.

We'd like to take this time to publicly thank your party for all their help in putting Trump so high in the polls. We couldn't have done it without you.

Border-Bidenomics-Bidementia.

But now its about Trump...again.

It's your party who keeps elevating Trump.....that gotta be a kick to the cojones....

This time if you attack the Capitol, marines will blow you to hell, traitors.

LOL..............not going to happen, this time your crew will be out there. Hell their doing it out in the open now.

 

[Dadoalex]

Depends ...

No, your Depends don't matter here so put them back on and clean up the mess.

Spinning words to justify your support of destroying this democracy is what your Depends is full of.

You are a traitor, plain and simple.

So you're having a tantrum because people get to vote on an amendment. A popular vote.

Smells like democracy.

You need to get ahold of Jim Clyburn.

No I don't. I can just sit here and be correct.

Simmer down Dildoalex........many others call it for what it is.....Constitutional Federal Republic.

They need to downplay democracy because they tried to overturn actual voting.

Trying to hide your support for destroying this Democracy and replacing it with a Trump monarchy is as repugnant as your support for for destroying this Democracy and replac ing it with a Trump monarchy.

TRAITOR

As you sit idly by supporting a puppet who isn't running our government. Didn't even know his SecDef was in ICU until 3-4 years later.
You've lost what's left of the democracy and are too ignorant to notice.

 

[Stann]

In what mindset? The mindset of reality? Being a representative democracy isn't incompatible with being a constitutional republic. They describe different aspects of our government and society. It's like you guys are arguing you can't be a vegan and Christian. Nothing about being a vegan precludes you from also being Christian. We can have a constitution. We can be a government of the people. And as people we can vote for representatives to represent us in government. These ideas aren't mutually exclusive.

I don't know where you live but here in America we democratically elect representative to represent US . Whatever you want to call it it's still based on democratic principles.

 

[SavannahMann]

That's what happens in Constitutional Republic dumbass. The US has never been a Democracy and the abortion issue is where it belongs at the state level.

That’s not true. At all. As one obvious example. Phone calls. The Cops need a warrant to listen to your phone calls. But phone calls aren’t covered in the Constitution. The Amendment says person and papers. Not phone calls. Yet the Courts found that phone calls were covered by the Amendment that explicitly does not mention it.

Shall I continue? Cruel and Unusual. That is mentioned, but what exactly qualifies as cruel and unusual is left to interpretation. What we find Cruel and Unusual today would be common a century ago, much less at the ratification of the Amendments.

Medical procedures are not mentioned once in the Constitution crime and punishment are. Nice try but abortion is still a State issue.

It is interesting isn’t it? We are talking about the Founders and what they intended right? Abortion was common. A recipe for an abortion medicine was included in a math textbook by Ben Franklin.

The first laws against Abortion were passed when Male Doctors got upset they were not involved.

So what did the Founders really intend?
