Democracy?\n\nIn a Democracy, the majority rules. If the majority decided they wanted your bike, they could take it.\nIn a Republic, your bike is your property and you do not owe it to anyone. It cannot be taken against your will, by law.\nAmerica is a Constitutional Republic.\nTherefore, the Constitution is the law by which we are supposed to be protected.\nIn a Republic, the individual is protected FROM the majority, by Constitutional law.\nA Constitutional Republic is what we were given. It is up to us to keep it.
