Elites rule in every government on earth.. and every kind of government its just the nature of government that determine who and How those are in charge...
[ The definition of a republic cannot exclude the people choosing who represents them in government; otherwise it is not a republic. ]
In a republic the States have a central government(federal) as a vassal.. In a democracy the States become provinces like in Canada.. and are vassals of the central government.. Thats what starting happening to the U.S. after the Civil War here..
[ The same goes with a constitutional monarchy, where the difference is the monarchy and the trappings thereof. ]
A monarchy is Mob Rule(by mobsters) exactly like a democracy is.. no difference.. or communism(socialism)..
**Note: America has three governments.. Federal, State and Local...

Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. -V.I. Lenin
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism .-Karl Marx
Looks like you haven't read Article VI Section 2 of the US Constitution. A "central government as a vassal" cannot exercise supreme authority as this law purports to do.

So you're calling God a "mobster"? Were the kings that He appointed over ancient Israel also "mobsters"?
