    Is the US a Democracy? Is it a Republic. Yes. And also yes. The origins of the"republic not a democracy" argument rely on the idea of a direct or as James Madison calls it, "pure" democracy, which is rare worldwide (though practiced in some limited forms throughout the United States where popular referenda are placed on the ballot for voters to to decide laws, tax levies, etc.). Though I can't speak for all of those who make the "republic not a democracy" argument, it has become something of a political dog whistle, gaining popularity among those who increasingly seek a level of minority rule which they erroneously equating with republicanism. (We literally fought a war over minority rule. The other side won.) So, the not so simple answer is that when people push back on you calling the US a "democracy," some are being very literal, but also incomplete; some are trying to advance a particular political ideal; and some are just being know-it-all neckbeards. Oh, and so many people are referencing the US Pledge of Allegiance. It's a patriotic pledge written by a Union general after the Civil War to increase patriotism. It had the words "under God" added during the Cold War to differentiate the US from the Soviets, and it is in no way a governing document. It's no more the basis of law than "America the Beautiful" or "This Land is Your Land."

    The "Confusion" comes from the fact that the United States founding fathers were disgusted with direct democracies and believed any democratic decision should be gagged by the Constitution because they saw direct democracies are murderous cesspools of corruption. lest not forgot the Greek philosopher whose death was served only through a vote because people didn't like him, I'm talking about Socrates. People who champion the United States as a "Democracy" do so to water down the importance of the US Constitution and that's a dangerous affair. This is why we have a a Supreme Court and Federal Judges who slap down any laws or legislations that would endanger personal freedoms like Athenian Democracies did.

    The US is not a true democracy, when electing it's Presidency. While the congress is decided on the person with the most votes. The President is elected with a inept system that is called the Electoral College. Ms Clinton received about 2 million more votes than Trump, yet lost, as some states votes count up to 6 times other states.

    Ok, they didn't do any bit of research on anything. During the working day most americans are at work and children are at school. But go ahead and make a negative story about america on it. No negative stories about germany for these youtubers. Even if there are many negative things to say about nazi individuals and political groups (AfD) growing in germany. Now paid individuals in germany are attacking the new american auto factory starting up in germany. You can only guess the german auto industry don't want a american auto company to be successful in germany.

      This is a snippet from a video where my brother's girlfriend shared her reaction after her very first time in the US. We inly spent time in the Cincinnati area and in Kentucky, she's not generalizing. 😊 However, in comparison to European cities, the US in known for being very car friendly and not very walkable. So even as someone who has been to over 20 US states, I would say this is a big difference between Germany and the US. You can also find lots of research and articles about this phenomenon in the US.

  • @marksmith4892
    @marksmith4892 Час назад

    Feli, the reason that we insist on specifying what TYPE of Democracy is that we believe the mainstream media and the extreme left (i.e. about 65% of the Democrat party) deliberately avoid using the term Constitutional representative republic because they want to accomplish 2 things: 1) downplay the Constitution because they don't like what's in it because it conflicts with their political objectives, and 2) insinuate that America is a Direct Democracy. This goes back to our origins but the people who authored the Constitution, and who we believe were on the merits exceptionally brilliant and wise, warned us repeatedly that Direct Democracy was mob rule and that organizing laws and society based on the fickle whims of the public whose sentiment might be one direction today and the opposite direction tomorrow would be chaos. All of American Government is based on the principle of checks & balances, and having representatives to temper the response to the transient will of the public is one of those checks & balances. Yet the far left media outlets always refuse to use the term representative republic because they are trying to shape the public into believing that elected officials should accede to their demands when whipped up into a fervor of protesting and rioting. It's like a way of intimidating elected officials and convincing the mob that elected officials are obligated or required to capitulate always.

    Actually, the US is a federal republic with democratic elements. But the democratic elements are kept within due bounds. At the national level, the only democratic component is the House of Representatives; even here, democracy is curtailed by state borders. The Senate, Presidency, and the Supreme Court certainly aren't democratic in nature.

    It's bad that you have to explain that first. It's not a bad thing not to know something. But then you shouldn't pretend and say nonsense. Well then, so that the Viseo catches something. However, I believe that the problem in the USA is different. Republican supporters don't want the country to be called a democracy because the other party's name appears in it. And vice versa.

    The USA is a representative democracy, constitutional republic, democratic republic, and republican democracy. All of those terms accurately describe what the United States have. This is in contrast to an authoritarian Republic (modern mainland China and the USSR), Republic without a constitution (ancient Roman Republic), direct democracy with a written Constitution (ancient Athens), and representative democracy with Constitutional monarchy (United Kingdom). The Founding Fathers wrote in the Federalist Papers that they disliked pure democracy (which they described as citizens directly making decisions, which is called direct democracy today) and they wanted impure democracy in the form of a republic (which they described as a system of voters electing leaders who make decisions, which is called a representative democracy today).

    The Constitution creates the form of government we have in the United States, which is a constitutional and federal republic. A constitutional republic means that it is one in which, rather than directly governing, the people select some of their members to temporarily serve in political office; the constitutional part means that both the citizens and their governing officials are bound to follow the rules established in that Constitution. A federal republic is one in which a federal government is given only limited powers for limited purposes, while state governments retain most powers of government. The Constitution describes this division of power, establishing which specific powers have been given to the federal government, while reiterating that most remain with the state governments. The Constitution’s status as supreme law of the land works in two ways. As long as an action of the federal government is authorized by the Constitution, that action supersedes any state or local law with which it might conflict. But not every action by the federal government is supreme-- federal activity must also follow from the Constitution or it too would be illegal.
