The Crumbling Principles of Constitutional Democracy Herald the End of Democracy in America.

---

What are the principles of constitutional democracy, and are they currently being upheld by the United States government?

The Constitution was written by the founders of America to protect the inherent rights of the people by limiting the power of the government.

Interestingly, the founders never set up a democracy, nor is the word “democracy” mentioned anywhere in the Constitution.

What the founding fathers of the United States set up was a constitutional republic rather than a constitutional democracy.

There is a big difference between the two: in a republic, we are under the rule of law; in a democracy, it is the majority that rules.

In a republic, our rights are inherently bestowed upon us from birth, whereas in a democracy, our rights are granted to us by the group.

The founders of our country were highly distrustful of democracies, citing how democracies historically descend into tyrannical oligarchies, in which the power rests in the hands of a controlling elite minority that abuses its power and strips the populace of its inherent rights.

Since our political system has deviated from the initial design of America’s founders, we are now living under the slowly eroding principles of a constitutional democracy, winding our way into an inevitable tyranny.

Erosion of the Principles of Constitutional Democracy

In an ideal constitutional democracy, all citizens are able to participate in how the country is run, with equal access to power.

This is clearly not the case in America, when it costs upwards of $150,000 to attend law school, which is the only possible route for those who want active roles in the government.

Then to run for President, it costs around $100 million just to make it to the primary.

These figures are unreachable without outside aid, and those who give the largest donations to Presidential candidates are those who have agendas that they want their candidate to back.

So the candidates who get the most money are the ones who will essentially spend the next 4 years looking out for the interests of their donors, rather than focusing solely on what is best for the people.

In the United States, money talks, and those with the most money have the most say in how things are run. This is not a very equal set-up, is it?

Who’s Protecting Our Rights?

A constitutional democracy relies on majority rule, although the rights of the minority are still protected.

The current state in America is that it’s the other way round – the elite minority is in control, whilst the rights of the majority are being taken away, one by one.

This is another sign of the eroding principles of constitutional democracy in America.

The Constitution was designed to limit the power of the U.S. Government, yet the government usurps more and more power by stripping away our civil liberties.

Once our liberties are severely restricted or gone completely, we’ll truly be living in a tyrannical oligarchy run by a controlling elite minority.

The End Result

Our country has changed from a constitutional republic to a constitutional democracy, and is now in the process of changing into a fascist police state.

The signs of a fascist state are all around us, as evidenced in the control of the mass media by corporate and governmental interests, the marriage of corporate and government concerns, obsession with national security and crime, and the suppression of dissident viewpoints.

If we don’t act to turn this around, the tide of events will inevitably carry us into the tyranny that America’s founders predicted.
