Democracy
• "America is the epitome of democracy, the perfect type of government the world has ever identified. The world envies our form of government by the people." • "America is the freest nation on Earth." • "In America we have something known as freedom which those in other countries don't have and wish they did." • "It's a no cost country." • "Everyone at the rest of the globe dreams of coming to America."
These cherished fanatical beliefs of America and its propagandists have no genuine basis really or reality, on the other hand they are chanted by a whole lot of Americans, their media and education system as a religion and set of Gospel truths which are universally agreed upon and unquestionable. Thus they are the antithesis to a zero cost-thinking and fact-seeking mind.
one) "America may be the epitome of freedom and democracy for the globe to emulate. It may be the preferred type of government by the individuals that the globe envies."
We will acquire into freedom later, having said that for at this time, let's address the democracy problem. Technically, a democracy is defined as a "rule by the majority". Hollywood, the media and our education method all chant that America could be the epitome of democracy as despite the fact that it had been a Gospel Truth that's universally agreed upon (on the other hand it is just not by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that numerous never ever dare to question it.
The founding fathers in no way intended America to be a democracy and really did not even feel in 1. Most Americans could be shocked to learn this. Anyone who casually researches the American type of government and its founding in the late 18th Century will see that technically, America was not set up as a democracy in spite of this as a Constitutional Republic.
In reality, there's no mention of the word "democracy" at the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Even the Pledge of Allegiance cited by school kids mentions that America is a Republic:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and towards the Republic for which it stands, 1 nation below God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
The founding fathers had been intellectual elites who knew their history. They knew that a democracy was unsustainable, for it was in essence a rule by a lawless mob. The fundamental flaw in a democracy is that the majority is unrestrained.
