Six thousands years of humans writing down history reveal that the most common form of government has been a monarchy.
The most powerful monarchy the world had ever seen was the globalist British monarchy.
The British Empire at it zenith controlled 13 million square miles - almost a quarter of the Earth's land, and nearly half billion people - one-fifth of the world's population.
In the British Empire, the most important "vote" was that of the King.
King James explained March 21, 1609:
"Kings are justly called gods ... they have power of raising and casting down: of life and of death ... over all their subjects ... accountable to none but God only ... and make of their subjects like men at the chess."
Americans did not like being ruled by the will of one man, who was, in a sense, a one-world government-type leader.
Americans separated from the British Empire in the Revolutionary War.
America's founders set up a system where citizens control the government.
They insisted the Federal government be limited by a separation of powers and the Bill of Rights.
Soon other countries followed suite, rejecting their kings and replacing them with representatives elected by the "citizens."
"Citizen" is a Greek word meaning co-ruler.
A representative form of government is called a republic.
In a republic, the citizens are the king, ruling through representatives.
When we pledge allegiance to the flag "and to the republic for which it stands," we are pledging allegiance to us being in charge of ourselves.
When someone protests the flag, they are effectively saying, I do not want to be king anymore!
In colonial America, first landowners could vote, then those owning a certain amount of personal property.

This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.
An awake woman. Good for you!
