Answer 5

our founders created a republic, designed to dliute the will of the people and protect the interestsof the ruling class. the constitution put in place a republic for landowning white men, it was still a dictatorship if you were a woman or a slave or a landless man. however, some of our founders were radicals and they included very important bricks in the foundation of their new government.

first - they protect minorities against the tyranny of the majority. thankfully, then, your religious practices and believf are NOT determined by a majority vote. thankfully, then, you cannot be taxes to support a church you don't believe in nor can you be taxed to force school kids to practice the majority religion.
second - they slipped in that radical idea that the liberty and self-determination they were securing for themselves actually belonged to all people. It was up to Americans who understood what it meant that all people were born equal and with rights NO ONE can take away - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's always been up to the inheritors of our revolution to live out the full meaning of our creed!

(We are slipping horribly; the american people tolerated being lied to by the american media (i had to start reading the foreign press to get the truth) about the gangster bush and his crime family, our congress abandoned its constitutional role to aid and abet bush in his torture, mass murder, and grand theft of our national treasury, and we've slipped into a dictatorship with free speech zones, tax money spent to enrich the king's friends, bush's people spying on everyone. they are beyond contempt.

Answer 8

I think cassandra is dead on track and may I humbly add .

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds that have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and independent station to which the laws of nature and of nature's god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal and independent; that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent and inalienable, among which are the preservation of life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying it's foundation on such principles and organizing it's powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. . .

looking forward to november...
