There are some FReepers who don't even know America is a Constitutional Republic and I have to argue with them to get them to understand even that!

I would have to agree, to a point, It used to be a Representational Republic until 1911 when Congress capped the Peoples representatives at 435. Capping Reps at 435 also went against the 12th amendment by capping our electoral votes. Then 2 years later we get screwed by creation of the FED. Now, fully controlled, with the illusion of freedom, we are puppets at somebody else's mercy in what has turned into a shell of the Constitutional Republic our founding fathers provided for us, with very limited representation.

This is a great explanation but the video is over an hour long
NOTE: It starts halfway in for some reason, restart at beginning.
U.S. Constitution and Landmark Lawsuit Involving Congress

He is saying we should have almost 7000 now by current population... 1/50,000
It is a lot easier to control half of 435 than half of 7000
He says there is a lawsuit working through the courts to prove an amendment was actually ratified that would have made their 1911 bill unconstitutional.
Not sure if it has legs or not though.

America has never been a Representational Republic.

Answer this.
From whence does said representation emanate?

What created our representation?

Have you put the cart before the horse?

You already know the answer, A Constitution was written and the representation was created therein.

A Constitutional Republic.
