Greg,

We are a Constitutional Republic rather then a direct Democracy PRECISELY because the Founders understood that trading one Tyrant for a Thousand was no bargain. They understood well that a majority could be as much a tryanny as a monarch. That’s why we have a Bill of Rights. It’s why the Ammendment process works the way it does. It’s a big part of why our Constitution and our system of government is formulated the way it is. Your trying to pretend it otherwise does not make it so.

America was very much founded on the ideal, that individuals should largely be free to act on thier own accord....as long as those actions did not transgress against anothers rights.

“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

I’m sorry I missed the part of that statement that said “Make sure people obey the will of God”.... could you please point it out to me? I do seem to see a little something in there about LIBERTY however.
