Those wanting to understand the constitution, check in here

Mark Levin is the Jethro Bodine of constitutional lawyers.

Democrats are the only people who hate the word Republic. They think it stands for Democracy. And it does not.

 

[Martin Eden Mercury]

Question - Why is the US the only country where it's citizens check it's constitution on a daily basis, yet the rest of the planet can get by without checking theirs?

Because some citizens have been trained like Monkeys to run with little, petty, silly games that would be merely amusing if they did not feed into a long time battle within the nation seeking to divide Americans against each other, in order to make ideological and political gains that aim at seeking control of the American public, by keeping them at each other's throats over such silly issues.

 

[BackAgain]

So, I ask again what kind of Republic are we?

It’s still a Constitutional republic.

Ask again. You’ll keep getting that answer — because it’s the reality.

Actually, no they are not. The Democrats on the Jan 6 committee explicitly called Trump a threat to our republic.

So, I ask again what kind of Republic are we?

A republic, based on the Latin phrase res publica ('public affair' or 'people's affair'), is a state in which political power rests with the public (people) through their representatives—in contrast to a monarchy.[1][2] Although a republic is most often a single sovereign state, subnational state entities that have governments that are republican in nature may be referred to as republics.

Of course we are. Tell that to Robert W.

We are a constitutional republic based upon principles of a representative democracy, I.e. we vote for representatives.

We are obviously not a full democracy.

 

[BackAgain]

Of course we are. Tell that to Robert W.

No need. He already knows.

 

[Robert W]

Actually, no they are not. The Democrats on the Jan 6 committee explicitly called Trump a threat to our republic.

There your roots show. You feel kicked on by my remarks so you have to tell me what Democrats say to you. Trump is not a threat to this republic. He was elected again.

 

[Martin Eden Mercury]

Mark Levin is the Jethro Bodine of constitutional lawyers.

Nah. He’s more like the last of the few great Constitutional scholars.

What he said causes you to cringe because you don’t care for truth.

We have one more pretending to be knowledgeable in constitutional matters and on the US constitution itself.

Pay attention here. Even proven conservative voices that are not hostile to Levin, have written things like "Mark R. Levin, a Great But Misguided American."

I recall them claiming (for the aparatchik liberal MSM to share with the people) that he was a threat to ”our democracy.”

They were wrong even at that.

He isn’t the threat. He is the hope.

They are the threat.

How many times is the word "republic" mentioned in the US Constitution?

 

[Robert W]

Of course we are. Tell that to Robert W.

We are obviously not a full democracy.

Based you say.

So you believe we are following Roman law?

While there isn't a single individual credited with inventing the term "representative democracy," the concept is generally attributed to the ancient Romans, who practiced an early form of representative government within their republic, making them the closest to having "created" the idea in the Western world;.

Key points about the origin of representative democracy:

• Roman Republic:
  Considered the first known state in the West to have a representative government, where citizens elected representatives to vote on their behalf.
  
  
• Medieval England:
  Figures like Simon de Montfort played a significant role in developing representative government through early parliaments that included common citizens.
  
  
• Modern usage:
  The term "representative democracy" as we know it today is a product of the evolution of political thought over centuries, with the Roman model serving as a foundational inspiration.

And, of course, that simply an empty and dishonest claim.

What you comprehend about our Constitution is sketchy — at most.

Sounds like your excuse for why you are misguided. I don't know you enough to call you great.

How many times is the word "republic" mentioned in the US Constitution?

Tell us why that “question” makes any difference.

I wonder why the Constitution allows new states to enter the Union provided that they (among other things) guarantee a republican form of government?

I doubt you even grasp the import.

Article IV

Article IV Relationships Between the States​

• Section 4 Republican Form of Government​

  The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

This might help Democrats.

Now that is a post I can agree with you. The system the founding fathers based this country on is largely based on the Roman Republic. It is why so many of our political terms are Latin based: Senate, Veto, etc. Separation of powers are also based on the Roman Republic.

Representative democracy is not a full democracy but one based on rules regarding the election of representatives to run the government.

I think you just have an issue with the word “democracy” in the term “Representative democracy.”

You have an issue with the word “republican.”

Yes our founders did use part Roman law but since it was formed in the East of the now USA they were familiar with English common law. Which had derived from Roman laws.
Still why do you get offended by the word Republic?

Let me clarify this. Your system stands for all of the public voting all of the time.
My system which is accurate stands for you get to vote for a person you have no clue about and he or she is your ruler.

How could a true American have voted for Kamala Harris? She tried to communicate by cackling.

I am not offended by the word “republic.” Far from it. My only issue is debating the type of republic we are. I think we may be talking past each other. We are a Republic based upon a constitution which enshrines the principles of representative democracy. That is all. I don’t how that statement is controversial.
