hap0206, Stubbornly stupid, you are. In practice your country has operated as a representative democracy. A number of your founders used the word democracy in describing what they were creating. The word isn't in your constitution because some of your founders felt, like Musk, Yarvin et al today, that democracy was too messy. Too messy a way to run a country. Today Trump/Yarvin/Musk/Thiel say it is better to have only high IQ Silicon Valley, efficiency experts they think, running it.
"Nice going -- a NYT article sure proves the point -- hey, did you
flunk HS civics -- let me make it simple -- this is what you missed
In a democracy a majority rules
In OUR republic our constitution rules
hope this helps"
Your constitution sets up three equal tiers of government. Executive, judicial and legislature. Three equal. You tell us, hap0206, why Yarvin et al want to make the constitutionally equal arms - judicial and legislative - subservient to the executive arm. Answer, because they want to cleanse your country of it's democratic content.
If you hadn't been operating as a democracy all these years the bullshit you support may not
be considered necessary by the anarcho-capitalists you have attacking your democracy today.
They want to shred your constitution, and you are cheering them on. So much for your claim to care
for your constitution. So much for your abysmally brainwashed/conditioned/whatever ignorance.
PS: See my 2nd reply to your other. coming up.
