A republic (from Latin res publica or "public matter") is a form of government in which power is delegated by law rather than heredity. This is in contrast to those systems of government where the ultimate power resides with the head of state, typically a monarch, theocrat or dictator, rather than a set of laws. Republican forms of government are the antipode of hereditary monarchy.
LAW
read the damn oath
what do you not understand about this
Why you think the United States is not a democracy when we hold elections which is the definition of democracy
Even if it's state level
Have to what, vote?
You, as a nobody, no
What does that have to do with anything
like, it's not in the constitution that drect democracy be the flavor
Who's a nobody? People you disagree with?
Non politicians
So we're back to unironically advocating for aristrocracy
Oh god what did I join
These are arguments people lost in the 19th century lmao
Did you just miss the entire post I maed JUST FOR YOU
No I saw it you're simply wrong
nice strawman bro
Your argument against democracy boils down to might makes right and we should let the powerful rule because they're powerful because they rule because they're powerful etc
It's circular reasoning
WHAT
@TheTelescreen how much time you got?
This entire discussion requires an understanding of natural rights, rule of law, the purpose of government, republicanism, and the duties of citizenship
@Deleted User not much for the night why
You've yet to explain why we *should* be ruled by a powerful minority
That is not what was said
@TheTelescreen just leave the server , these people are being autistic
you asked what you just joined
a republic protects any minority's rights against the majority
@Deleted User You're being a nuisance and a troll
Same @Fitzydog
It's literally what you said. You want to deny voting rights to an activist minority based on the fact that they support the values of the state which in this scenario just so happen to be *your* values.
@Deleted User I mean I knew what I was walking into I just wasn’t properly prepared
they are having a legitimate discussion @Deleted User
With an extra heavy dose of autism on top of that
That is where inalienable rights come from
