That’s a very good summary of Aristoteles’ Republic

I feel like I'm losing braincells whenever I hear this talking point of "we're a republic, not a democracy" that everyone is mindlessly parroting in this comment section. Republicanism and democracy describe different aspects of how a government is structured and how it actually governs. Most republics, including the US, are democracies. The only alternative is for a republic to be an autocracy, an oligarchy, or a mix of those two. People constantly harp on about mob rule, which isn't an unreasonable concern, but the solution is not to oppose majority rule; minority rule does not guarentee that people's rights will be respected any more or less. Only a constitution can lay out what rights people have and limit the government's power. Ideally, we should be more democratic. It's impossible to hold a referendum for every thing, but people should have more power to vote directly on important issues like we already do at the state level with ballot initiatives.

The Constitution allows for congress to pass new laws. The constitution also allows for states to make their own laws. That's where most laws come from. Some agencies outside of those had made laws, but when SCOTUS said Chevron Deference was illegal, those laws became illegal.

I know the US mix up a lot of words and assign them new meaning all the time, like liberal and conservative, but have they really changed this too or is the video misinformation? The European definition of republic is not limited democracy, but rather a democracy with a democratically elected head of state, contrary to a monarchy or lack of head of state.

Almost certain the meaning didn't change, just americans having no clue what is what.

He completely glossed over the fact that a constitutional republic is a representative government. We vote for representatives and send them to the capitol so that they work for their country and constituents.

Without representative democracy (fancy term for republic), things like racial equality and other rights would not become a thing here in the present day. This is a reason why pure democracy is dangerous.

This needs to be a PSA to educate those who’ve lost the difference between a democracy (the majority of our populous) and a republic (the rest of us). This was well explained and quite easy to understand.

@@Iseemywaywe are a democracy and a republic. A democracy is a government run by its citizens. We are a representative democracy where we create representatives for our democracy. The republic part is just that we have rules that are at the core of our nations.

Here is an example of the danger of misunderstanding the difference between a "Democracy" and a "Constitutional Republic": President Barack Obama on April 2, 2012: "Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress. And I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint - that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. Well, this is a good example. And I’m pretty confident that this Court will recognize that and not take that step.” Obama misunderstood.

FACTS! Frankly, everybody should be required to watch this at least once a day, but libs are the ones who need to see it most of all.

A republic is not a limited democracy. A republic is a state that is not a monarchy. Its rulers are often democratically elected, but they don't have to be. The word "democracy" has several meanings, one of which is "majority rule." But a democracy need not be an "Athenian democracy," where each citizen has one vote in all matters. The age-old "it's a republic, not a democracy" fails to take into account the correct meanings of either "republic" or "democracy."

Ought to be a part of everyone's curriculum and memorized.

It would be pretty cool if the people we vote to work in our government were people that also cared about following the same laws and rules that the rest of us follow. Funny how they turn a blind eye to said laws and rules the minute they gain even the tiniest bit of power.

Yet some people are starting to feel that list of rules is a threat to their democracy. It's sad.
