George Edward Griffin explains the difference between a direct Democracy and a Constitutional Republic “Democracy is a form of government based upon the principle of majority rule. Period. End of discussion. Now, that's not very complicated. Majority rule. It's easy to understand, easy to sell to the masses, and...

When people call America a "democracy", I tell them they need to recuse themselves from voting because they don't even know what kind of government we have.

It'd be shocking to people if our news media started using "our Republan form of government" instead of "our Democracy". By the way, 'democracy' is never mentioned in the Constitution or Declaration of Independence. 'Republican' is in the Constitution.

Most democracies are representative, like the US. All democracies are republics. Look up the definition of republic...

Don’t forget about the laws we live under. All of us. Even a president has to follow our laws and be accountable when he or she has broken them.

The reason why Australia is now such a banana republic is due to the fact that the constitution is meaningless without goverment and judicial branches operating within its terms. During covid they simply declared an "emergency" and pofff no constitution. #dictatorship

This is why the word "democracy" is not used in any of our founding documents. Not one time. Yet people use the word democracy, erroneously, to describe America's form of govt.

Republic: Power rests w/citizens who elect other citizens to represent them. Constitutional Republic: Power rests with citizens who elect other citizens to represent them, as per the Constitution. Democracy is a process & many Democrats are suspect.

Nowt wrong with democracy when done right; as in Switzerland. Every oligarchy (AKA Constitutional Republic) goes wrong and tends to plutocracy or even kleptocracy. Because elites ring-fence themseleves & are easily captured by woke, anti-humanism, etc.

@NowHopefully Think it would be possible to get his into every junior high and high school in the nation? Civics class would be a great place for it but then you’d have to have a civics class. Not sure they’re doing that anymore in the public school system

The United States IS NOT a democracy, so quit calling it one and correct anyone who uses that word! A democracy is a political system in which people periodically by majority vote, at the poll, select their rulers. The rulers then have absolute power to make whatever laws they please buy majority vote among themselves. In a constitutional republic, the people also by majority voters, at the polls, select rulers who make laws by a majority vote among themselves. But the rulers cannot make any laws they please, because the constitution severely restricts their law making power. The ideal of a democracy is universal equality. The idea of a constitutional republic is individual liberty. In this century, great strides have been made towards the goal of subverting our republic and transforming it into a democracy. The foremost tactic of subverters is subversion of language. By calling America a “democracy” until people thoughtlessly accept and use the term. Totalitarians have obscured the real meaning of American principles of government. Writers of the constitution were anxious to safeguard liberty against dictatorship … monarchy they called it. But their chief anxiety was to protect this country against democracy. Edmund Randolph, delicate to the constitutional convention from Virginia, said the general object of the convention was to provide a cure for the follies and fury of democracy. Eldridge Gary and Roger Sherman, delicates from Massachusetts and Connecticut, urged the constitutional convention to create a system to eliminate the evils that flow from the excess of democracy. Alexander Hamilton, the delicate from New York, said we are now forming a Republican government … “real liberty is not found in democracy. If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy.” John Adams, one of the Giants of the American Revolutionary, said “democracy will envy all, contend with all, endeavor to pull down all, and when by chance it happens to get the upper hand for a short time, democracy will be revengeful, bloody, and cruel.” America was founded not as a democracy, but as a constitutional republic. We pledge allegiance to the republic for which our flag stands, not to a democracy. The constitution requires a republican form of government for all states, but does not mention democracy, and neither does the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights. Foreman asked him (Franklin) what kind of government the convention had given America, and Franklin replied, “a republic, if you can keep it.” Very old and very wise, Franklin saw through the mist of time to the day when Americans might trade their freedom in a constitutional republic for the promise of government guaranteed equality and security in a democracy, and beyond that to the day when democracy inevitably degenerates into dictatorship … guaranteeing nothing but poverty and serfdom for the people it robs and rules.

This Is Very Important Info Black US Air Force Veteran Is Educating His 2.5 Million Followers That America Is Not A Democracy, A Democracy Is A Gateway To Communism We Are A Constitutional Republic & Donald Trump Is Saving Us “When people tell me that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, I look at them as if I'm supposed to be offended. No, duh, Sherlock. America is not a democracy. No matter how many times you hear the news say it, no matter how many times you hear Democrats say it, no matter how many times your missing foreign family members tell you that democracy is what makes up America, it is not. ‌ We are a constitutional republic. Let me break down the difference, okay. In a democracy, the will of the majority would override or take away the rights and privileges of the minority. In a constitutional republic, such as America, we elect representatives who go ahead of us and enact laws to protect the rights of individuals against the will of the so-called majority. This is why America has been set apart from any other country. Do you want to know what involves a democracy? Communism. See, this is a word that's tossed around because these people want to get rid of capitalism and go into socialism and ultimately become communism. But I got good news for you. ‌ People are not fleeing in droves from constitutional republic countries. They are fleeing from democratic countries that are now communist. Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, name it. Talk to the people that are coming from these countries. Democracy isn't something you want. You think you want it. Imagine if 70% of America was Christian and we all voted according to our religion. And we were a democracy. Imagine how that would put you. The only reason why you're able to believe the way you believe, speak the way you're able to speak and do the things you're able to do is because we are a republic and not a democracy. So will you please stop saying that because it makes you look crazy. ‌ So next time you hear somebody say Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, tell them, I know and I'm glad. Because Lord knows, Biden is a threat to the Republic.”
