It was this quote: Quote: |
Why does everyone keep referring to the American Government as a democracy?
| that made we wonder what your government is. You talk about votes, one man one vote if I recall correctly. How can you say your a republic and not a democracy. We have a one man one vote principal overhere as well, but we are a constitutional monarchy. In my opinion the abstract level of republic and democracy are non-compatible. First you decide whether the common man has a say ( demos = people) then you choose the structure on how you want to run your nation, be it king or president. |
I'm sorry but this has lowered to the silly level and doesn't deserve spending time on. You read my post and I know you understood what it meant.
