...IMO to use such a term is meant only to be descriptive of function...limiting the government.

Would you care to chime in on whether or not I made the correct call regarding your particular usage in your article?

It is causing some confusion.

In #60 you stated it well and I will try to use the correct term. You are right:

“We don’t have a Representative Republic.
We have a Constitutional Republic.
Ducks in a row...Representation is spelled out within the Constitution.
Congressional oaths are to the Constitution.
(...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States...)
One must come before the other. “

Also the Leonard Peikoff quote in the 2002 thread on Athenian democracy leading to the death of Socrates was helpful.

So many would prefer a smartphone internet voting system of direct democracy in which a tearful Greta speech followed by an inspiring Oprah one would allow the immediate election of Bernie. System and vote counting software supplied by Soros companies, of course.

Thanks for your patience and information.
