Constitutional Republic: A constitutional republic is a form of government in which a representative is elected by the people to govern over them, according to the rules established in the law of the land. An example of a constitutional republic is the United States’ form of government.

The constitutional Republic is what we need not what we have. Democracy is we the people relying on our gov to tell us that the majority had spoken and therefore it shall be and while they are lying through their fake smile’s nobody questions them. So they will keep passing bills and adding regulations. Democracy leads to socialism which you are seeing right now which leads to communism. And then you open the boarders promise free shit to all that enter. The majority becomes the minority. Once this happens the gov doesn’t have to lie about the numbers anymore

It was a Constitutional Republic but I am not sure what it has turned into? A dictatorship maybe.

White Supremacy, MAGA, Trump, Racists, Get off my lawn

A. America is a Constitutional Republic

The articles are discussing President Biden's speech around January 6th and targeting former President Trump and "MAGA extremists." In his speech, Biden emphasized that America is "built on an idea" of equality and democracy. However, others argue that while America embraces democratic principles, it is formally a Constitutional Republic with democratic elections taking place within the structures defined by the US Constitution. So option A seems most accurate - America is generally considered a Constitutional Republic, not a pure Democracy, based on how its system of government is outlined in the Constitution.

No country is a pure Democracy. Representative democracies are still democracies. The US included.

[NaultD]

Both. A republic by definition an orgin but was always striving and adapting into more and more democratic as an end goal. Hence why we dont have land ownership only voting anymore.

We are the government of the people by the people. The founding fathers are not holy prists writing in stone. Thats why the constitution is vague as fuck and we the people of a democracy can change things as needed. We can add amendments and take away amendments like prohibition.

[AviatorTom]

In a true democracy, everyone votes on everything. No country does that. The United States, like many countries, cites fir representatives who make the laws. The US is further different from many countries in that most power is with the individual states, although sometimes it doesn't seem that way.

[goaded]

That's a pure democracy, not a "true" democracy. Representative democracies are still democracies. The US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, and dozens of other countries included.

[goaded]

There was nothing "unhinged" about that speech. It's not like he was talking about destroying magnets with water like Trump. Or telling people to "get over" children being gunned down.

It's a democracy. I don't know why so many people can't understand that a representative democracy is still a democracy; perhaps it's the "dwarf planets aren't planets/Apple brand personal computers aren't personal computers" crowd.

Constitutional Republic!!
"This is not rhetorical, academic of hypothetical." It's just a bald face lie!!

[FunkyMonkee]

So what? LET THEM start another civil war!! Guess who's got all the guns? The best they can do is cry, yell, scream at the sky, stomp their little feet, hold their breath, throw their crying towels and puppies at us and glue their hands to the streets!! Hold the war in an area that's completely covered with dirt or sand and let's see how well that glue works!!

The United State of America is a "constitutional federal republic".

[rigmarole]

If Democrats violate the Constitution of the United States and push to form a Democracy, then they are in breach of contract. They have violated their treaty with the other states in an act of treason. Thus under the constitution article 4 section 4 the military would have to give them a spanking and return them to a republican form of government.

[rigmarole]

Preferably The Supreme Court of the United States would give them a stern talking to and tell them they are fucking morons and then the Democrats would realize they live in a "constitutional federal republic", but Democrats having low IQs aren't easy to reason with when facts are exhibited. They tend to light their hair on fire and start smashing shit in emotional ouutbursts.

[AngryCarl]

Isn't it both? If the proletariat gets to vote surely that's democracy? Sounds like y'all just want to install a dictator.

[goaded]

Yes, it is.

[normalice]

They are not mutually exclusive.

[SolitarySolace]

Why do you think I’m asking?

[goaded]

I think it's because you want to divide people. Why not include a "both" option?

[normalice]

I think you are asking because you want fascism.

[SolitarySolace]

You just said they’re not mutually exclusive

[normalice]

Correct.

[QuietRunner]

Orinally the United States was a Confederation. Once that failed like almost every Confedration does, we became a Federal Republic

[milyjohn]

Neither, anymore.

[gorydetails]

‘Unhinged’ and ‘Biden’ are redundant.
