“In my opinion, top billing goes to George Washington, who presided over the birth of our democracy.”
Does the word “democracy” appear in the pledge of allegiance?
Why do we have an electoral college and not a majority vote for President?
Is the Constitution superior to the will of the majority?
We are NOT a democracy.
Stop be ridiculously pedantic. The U.S. IS a representative democracy, in the form of a constitutional republic.
