[ Does not the ORIGINAL constitution allow for the people to vote for its congressional leaders? If it does, we have always been a democratic, albeit constitutional, republic. Must you deny our own constitution to hold fast to your monarchist ways? ]

My monarchist ways ?.... LoL....
Nazi germans voted.. as did they in Iraq with Sadaam..
Actually; NO; only men could vote(in some states) and not all men at that..
The founders knew politically ignorant house wives would bring us to foundering ultimately to become a democracy.. as has been happening since 1913..
Chew on that awhile your Fifeness(Barny)..

True, only male property owners could vote. Not unlike the Roman republic, which selectively allowed certain classes of citizens the vote. That, my dear friend, is limited democracy. Limited by what? The Constitution!
