IMO it's essential to not only preserve but to use the correct terms.
Are we a Constitutionally limited representative republic? Or just a Constitutional Republic?
Your wording is telling.
Rhetorical questions don't get answers.
Please don’t be picky with me—it doesn’t work because I am often imprecise or error prone as you can see from my posts. I have no hidden agenda-—just sincerely trying to use the correct terms
I didn’t mean to insult our Constitutional Republic or cast aspersions on it by saying “just”. I meant do the additional words apply or not.
My question was genuine. Someone around said “Constitutionally Limited Republic” and I was asking you about it. Not implying anything.
At 73 my memory of studying for my 1968 political science degree has flaws. I actually took a one semester class in the US Constitution,read the Federalist Papers,Democracy in America, books by and about Thomas Paine,Patrick Henry and many others. Remember every line? No. Like my Bible studies I feel like I know less than when I started because I now “know how much I do not know.”
I now have the Library of America Debate on the Constitution, a complete set of the Times American Presidents biographies and many on the history of the revolutionary period and most of the Oxford History of the United States. I have but have not fully read the 2 vol. Debate on the Constitution and the 2 vol. Am. Revolution Pamphlet Debate—which I am now inspired to consult. Thanks to you.
I meant no disrespect to you or to our system of government.
Forgive me.
