America was never a direct democracy, thank God, but a constitutional Republic. Voting is NOT an absolute right.Voting has never been an absolute nor inalienable right. ...
Bullshit. One [hu]man[being] one vote!
What's going wrong is it that children (including still unborn children) have no vote. Sure this votes have first to be managed from the parents in the best interest of their children and have step by step to be expanded until they are able to vote fully when they'll reach full age.
Voting is a right. The US is not a pure constitutional Republic. It has elements of a direct democracy. Ordinary citizens have a say in who represents them. The Roman Empire was a Republic and ordinary citizens had no say.
Actually we are a constitutional democratic republic.
We have a constitution.
We have a representative government.
Those representatives are elected democratically by the people.
If we were a republic only, the people wouldn't be the ones who elected those representatives.
It would be done in backrooms by party bosses only.
We do vote on representatives so there is a element of a democracy in there.
