Democracy

• "America may be the epitome of democracy, the top type of government the globe has ever identified. The world envies our form of government by the individuals." • "America may be the freest nation on Earth." • "In America we have some thing referred to as freedom which those in other countries don't have and wish they did." • "It's a cost-free country." • "Everyone at the rest of the globe dreams of coming to America."

These cherished fanatical beliefs of America and its propagandists have no real basis truly or truth, then again they are chanted by loads of Americans, their media and education method as a religion and set of Gospel truths that are universally agreed upon and unquestionable. Thus they are the antithesis to a zero cost-thinking and fact-seeking mind.

one) "America could be the epitome of freedom and democracy for the world to emulate. It will be the finest style of government by the individuals that the world envies."

We will locate into freedom later, then again for nowadays, let's address the democracy concern. Technically, a democracy is defined as a "rule by the majority". Hollywood, the media and our education method all chant that America will be the epitome of democracy as though it had been a Gospel Truth that is universally agreed upon (but it is not by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that countless never dare to question it.

The founding fathers in no way intended America to be a democracy and really didn't even believe in one. Most Americans would be shocked to learn this. Anyone who casually researches the American kind of government and its founding at the late 18th Century will see that technically, America was not set up as a democracy but as a Constitutional Republic.

In fact, there is certainly no mention of the word "democracy" in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Even the Pledge of Allegiance cited by school youngsters mentions that America is really a Republic:

"I pledge allegiance towards the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation below God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

The founding fathers were intellectual elites who knew their history. They knew that a democracy was unsustainable, for it was in essence a rule by a lawless mob. The fundamental flaw in a democracy is that the majority is unrestrained.
