      I hate to correct you but the United States is a Federal Republic with a written constitution. Your state is a unitary Republic with a written constitution. Thus the United States is a union of independent countries united for their common defense and external trade. The United States was never one country. We the people in the preamble referred to the people of each state not the collective hole. Power was centralized in the Civil War. Francis Bellamy a socialist created the Bellamy Salute which was similar to the Nazi salute. It was changed in World War II for obvious reasons. Citing the pledge made Americans think we were one country. Federalism was the vertical check on consolidated power. This has obviously been eroded to the point where liberty is in danger.

    Thank you ! We in the UK have no idea of the freedoms that we (should) enjoy as we have no proper written constitution. So we have lost the right to hold views that do not follow the official government line; And, of course, we cannot express those views. The mechanisms of the state, from police to public media (like the BBC) constrain citizens and support/enforce a Liberal stance. Democracy offers us the choice of 2 Parties, neither of which reflect the opinions of the people, just the views of elite politicians, who have NEVER had a real job. It's the death of a nation through the pretence of Democracy. The UK is a hollow shell of a country.

      You don’t have these freedoms? Here in America they are almost gone. You get in social trouble if you say something people don’t like. Now they talk about “hate speech” and the things they consider to be hateful are absolutely ridiculous. The socialist/communist ideals of the Democratic Party are taking over 😞

      The reason the UK has no Constitution it is because they already had one and it failed ....look it up and find out why it's happening here with the U.S. it's failing too today. That's why there is none where yur at ....Kapeesh?

      Today we have 3 Constitutions. But the other 2 derive from the original.
      federal and state have their own while the real one is locked up in a museum safe with the biggest high security a piece of paper can get... Pretty much!

    The US is not a direct democracy, its a constitutional republic. Why do these people get this wrong?

    • @andrewhoffman8427
      @andrewhoffman8427 9 місяців тому +5

      No one gets this wrong. No one, ever, has proclaimed that the US is a “direct” democracy. There has never been a nation that was a direct democracy. The US is a representative democracy. As was said in the video.

      More correctly we are a democratically elected constitutional republic. Why do these people get this wrong?

    A Republic with a Democracy voting system. The Democracy voting system is wrong for the Republic. The Founding Fathers did not get to come up with the proper voting system for The Nationalist Constitutional Republic.
