REPUBLICAN, rS-pib'-II-ken. a. Placing the government in the people.power is lodged in more than one.
DEMOCRACY, dc-mok'-kr.\-fy. f. One of the three f >rms of govern- ment, that ill which the fovereign power is lodged in the body of the people.
^^^note that the definition of "democracy" does not mean the people decide every matter and question. It never has. So, why act like it does? There is no reason for it except to suggest, without EVIDENCE, that "at least we're not that", or that, "we protect you from that risk". Hence, it is propaganda and intimidation. It is the protection racket, constantly scaring the gullible into thinking we NEED representatives to think and act on our behalfs, not for ourselves. Alas, because in THEORY, elected representatives would do as the electors wish, a Republic is democratic. Show me ONE un-democratic Republic. It would have to be a form of government in which the people have sovereign power but do not choose anything. Is that not a mere paradox?
