7 months agoThe US is both a constitutional Republic and a democracy . In fact, the democratic part is included in the constitution.
I don’t understand this argument. The Declaration of Independence is not part of the constitution so it’s not part of a valid legal argument. as I understand it the Constitution does not give individual citizens the right to elect the State that governs them ( beyond by moving obviously).
