[QUOTE="Mac76, post: 1700574, member: 106898"] Thanks. Interesting link. However, the American founders never intended to create a ‘democracy’. They knew history (far more so than today’s politicians). They knew the dangers of democracies (two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner) and easily manipulated - so, they created a republic instead. In a republic, it’s recognized that governments are created at the consent of the governed. And, people’s inherent rights are recognized. Those in government do Not ‘give their inhabitants’ any rights. “They are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed“ [/QUOTE]
