![]() "lardsoup" wrote in message ... Please point out where it says democracy in the constitution. The USA is a democratic republic at this point. A representative democracy. Democracy is about how the decisions are made, or the government is chosen; a republic is one of the forms such a government can take. It is irrelevant whether the US Constitution explicity 'says democracy' to whether in fact it is one. The constitution does specify, however, (Artidcle I, Section 2, Clause 1) that "The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States ...", and for the other house of the legislative branch, the Senate, which "shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof" (Article I, Section 3, Clause 1). This looks pretty representative-democracy-ish to me. |
