    I think there is a mistake at 5:44, you said 2/3 of state legislatures can propose an amendment, but it's actually 2/3 of states can ask congress to organize a convention where the amendment is brought up.
    Also, the amendment can be ratified by 3/4 of state legislatures or 3/4 of special ratifying conventions in the states.

    I think you kind of jumped over how important the article 4 is. Basically the reason you can move around in US, rent a house or a car, not get tied to a pole and pelted with eggs by state government for being a resident of a different state is described in article 4. It grants you all the rights a normal citizen (resident) of that state has with the exception of voting. It is underrated.

    0:45 by my understanding a republic is a form of government where people vote for representatives who then make the laws. Its often used as a contrast to pure or direct democracy. Therefore the AOC was still a republic. The move from the AOC to the US Constitution is a transition from a confederate to a federal system. A confederacy being a loose affiliation of sovereign member states with most political power held at the state level. While a federal system is the sharing of power between the state and federal governments but with more and now expanded power at the national now federal level.
    So unless there’s a different understanding of the term republic, I think the AOC qualifies as a republic. Also that the transition from AOC to Constitution is best described as a move from a confederate to a federal system. I believe the US constitution is sometimes referred to as the us federal constitution.
    Also I’m pretty sure at the time of the AOC both the national government and state governments were republican in form-in that the ppl voted for representatives.

    I am grateful for African Americans, I am deeply and powerfully grateful because of the legacy of those who were African American early in US history and had to work unfairly against prejudice and discrimination to be given better treatment that wasn't hypocritical to the premises of the United States based merely on skin color.
    America was originlly supposed to be a place of equality but at its founding slavery was used by the white settlers of colonies and states. If America continues to use slavery and discrimination today it isn't truly a great country, its gains and wealth are false and it's power is as weak as the facists it supposedly protects us against.
    By making a historically unprecedented bow to the African american people who descended from those original victimized generations the U.S. can restore its power and good voice, but not without this act.
    I am grateful that there are payments and apologies being forced towards african American families in the U.S. during 2024 and 2025 by european american families determined to be benefitting from slavery in those 1800s days when such an evil enterprise was held legal in America. I am grateful that European Americans are forced to apologize and give reparations now, although it is inconvenient for them and they sometimes struggle to personally feel accountable for the deeds of their ancestors generations prior to them. The truth is this is an era of comfort healing and rest for the african american soul, we must remember this and be correct proportional to history, in doing so we will set off other similar apologies in places around the globe that have also been harmes by racism.
    Realize that if the american trends and laws of today do not carry this process of respect rendering to African american citizens of america today there is essentially no shred of real american authenticity left in the constitution, but with integrity and owning up through what may seem like a hassle now for the families forced to pay there will be a true and effective America tomorrow

      I am grateful that I saw a successful African American female with a government job today, she was assuring me calmly that Biden will be remaining in presidential office through 2025, they are the federal workers with first hand access to the information and daily vicinity to Congress who would know such things.
      I think that seeing this person was a good omen and that if the US government is this wise then we should be very grateful, this is simply not a republican country.
      I respect this decision by our up tops and I am grateful that I can agree with it and that it fits constitutional guidelines, I don't feel that government is shirking at all from commitment to non hypocrisy when I know this is happening so thank you for the continued assurance and thank you for the carryout of one of the most amazing seasons for American government ever.
      I am grateful for the assistance of Kamala Harris

    I don’t even know where to begin. The Constitution of the United States did not change our system of government, it was legislative as established by the Articles of Confederation, and it’s still legislative after the adoption of the Constitution of the United States.
    There is no such thing as 3 coequal branches of government, as in, legislative, executive and judicial, the legislative authority necessarily predominates.
    Federalist #54, “The Structure of Government into Different departments”, Madison c.1788
    [This policy of supplying, by opposite and rival interests, the defect of better motives, might be traced through the whole system of human affairs, private as well as public. We see it particularly displayed in all the subordinate distributions of power, where the constant aim is to divide and arrange the several offices in such a manner as that each may be a check on the other that the private interest of every individual may be a sentinel over the public rights. These inventions of prudence cannot be less requisite in the distribution of the supreme powers of the State.
    But it is not possible to give to each department an equal power of self-defense. In republican government, the legislative authority necessarily predominates. The remedy for this inconveniency is to divide the legislature into different branches; and to render them, by different modes of election and different principles of action, as little connected with each other as the nature of their common functions and their common dependence on the society will admit.]
    The first branch of the legislature is a Confederated (compound) Republic established by Article 1 and assembled in a bicameral legislature to manage how the States interact with each other to form and maintain the Union through laws. The second branch of the legislature is a Confederate assembly reestablished by Articles 2 and 3 of the Constitution of the United States assembled in a unicameral legislature to manage how the States Act together as the Union when interacting with foreign nations and entities through treaties to make the decisions of a Free and Independent State with the Full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do All other Acts and Things which an Independent State may by Right do; and to establish the executive and judicial departments necessary to manage the general affairs of the government under the direction of the States as the Union as they are assembled in the Senate!
    The Senate is a discrete democracy of the States as the Union, all the States are assembled as equals with equal suffrage to reach a majority consensus of All the States as the Union and the Established Government Authority. Only the States are members of the Union, only the States are members of Congress, only the States are apportioned representation and suffrage to participate in the legislative processes of Congress, and only the States have suffrage to vote to reach a majority consensus of All the States as a Union and the Established Government Authority!
    Legislative power is decision making power. A quorum must identify and rank choices that must be considered to determine a choice by a majority consensus of all that are assembled as a legislative assembly. Our legislative assembly is the united States, in Congress Assembled, the Union and Established Government Authority.
    That has never changed since the States were assembled as a democracy by the Articles of Confederation!
