Unless you’d care to describe a preferable method?
Democracy is centralized givernment.. top down political management..
ALways a mistake.. in every iteration..
DE-centralized giverment is much better.. like a republic..
even though most republics are democracy’s and NOT republics at all.. i.e. centralized.. aka banana republics..
Americas Republic is totally UNIQUE.... one copy..
Never before tried by anyone except here..
WHY.?. Canada and all of European and south american givernments are centralized..
AND WHY?... ALL democrats and most republicans are in fact DEMOCRATS.....
They are confused if not totally delusional..
and cannot or WON’T “SEE” democracy is a nasty thing, POLITICALLY FILTHY..
not to speak of stupid..
Nice rant. You care to prescribe a preferable form of government.
Decentralized is not a form of government. Never been a “system of government” more decentralized than the feudal “system.”
But is was highly oppressive for the vast majority of those who lived under it.
Or look at China during the warlord period.
Centralized government are more or less by definition oppressive. But that doesn’t mean decentralized government cannot also be. Sometimes even more so.
Article 4. Section. 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.
The Federalist Papers delineates the reason it was important to guarantee a Republican form of Government.
You will not find a single occurrence of the word, democracy, in either the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. In addition, none of the Constitutions of the fifty states contains that word.
The Founders recognized the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God and that means, they wrote the founding documents knowing that man is flawed.
