A REPUBLIC? BY CHRISTOPHER GRAHN HOWARD
‘A Republic if you can keep it” was the famous response from Benjamin Franklin, when asked what kind of government was established. My questions are…Have we kept the Republic? Are we transitioning into a true Democracy? Contrary to popular misinformation, we are not, nor were we founded as a democracy. Repeat after me…WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY. These United States of America are a constitutional
republic that utilizes the democratic method by which to elect our Representatives. This is a fundamental distinction that is often missed or glossed over. Understanding the difference is crucial.
