    Why did we need a constitution? Why are popular elections not a sufficient means of preserving liberty?

    A pure unbridled democracy is a political system in which the majority enjoys absolute power by means of democratic elections. In an unvarnished democracy, unrestrained by a constitution, the majority can vote to impose tyranny on themselves and the minority opposition. They can vote to elect those who will infringe upon our inalienable God-given rights. Thomas Jefferson referred to this as elected despotism in Notes on the State of Virginia (also cited in Federalist 48 by Madison):

    Hmm. So who had the power to declare America independent?

    When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them ... etc.

    Oct 12, 2018 · On Tuesday, the Supreme Court chose to stand by and allow the war against voting to continue. Just a little less than a month before midterm elections that will determine control of Congress, the court decided not to block North Dakota’s restrictive voter ID law, which will make it harder for people in that state to cast their ballots.
    Yea well if Democrats, who significantly outnumber Republicans actually got off their asses and voted in midterms then there would be this problem, would there?

    1 day ago · On Thursday, coinciding with Kanye West’s visit to the Oval Office, President Trump made a bizarre and shocking comment that we need to support legislation that, among other things, retroactively releases drug traffickers, because it “is very unfair to African-Americans.”. The comment was bizarre because Trump previously mocked the purveyors of this talking point for the simple reason ...

    The problem with that is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony_disenfranchisement

    They don't ALWAYS disqualify themselves, and you boneheads are on a crusade to register anything with(or without)a pulse. And we as republicans really would like to disqualify ANYONE, minority or not, who does not meet the requirements to participate in our electoral process.

    Proponents have argued that persons who commit felonies have 'broken' the social contract, and have thereby given up their right to participate in a civil society. Some argue that felons have shown poor judgment, and that they should therefore not have a voice in the political decision-making process
    I think this sums up the conservative position pretty well...douche nozzle(sorry for the incivility there, maybe we can be nicer to each other when the election is over)

    Do you agree?
    A democracy has no constitution. It is mob rule. They usually fail very quickly, falling into an oligarchy or an outright dictatorship form of government. A republic has a constitution. That is actually the definition of a republic.

    These terms come from ancient Greece and ancient Rome.
