The United States of America was founded as a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. This is made explicitly clear in our founding documents:
The Declaration of Independence established that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed and exist to protect the God-given rights of the people.
The Articles of Confederation reaffirmed that the states were free and independent, bound together by a mutual compact of self-governance.
The United States Constitution (Article IV, Section 4) explicitly states: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.”
The Constitutional Republic our founders established is based on rule of law, where unalienable rights are protected against government overreach. A democracy, on the other hand, is based on majority rule, where the rights of the minority can be easily overridden.
The word “democracy” does not appear in any of our founding documents.
Through unlawful acts, corporate structuring, and legal deception, the United States government has been incorporated and restructured into a corporate democracy, where the interests of private entities and globalist agendas have overtaken the constitutional authority of We the People.
The Act of 1871 created “The United States Corporation”, redefining the federal government as a private entity operating under commercial law rather than constitutional law. This act transformed the seat of government into a private municipal corporation, separating it from the sovereign republic.
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 unlawfully transferred control of the U.S. monetary system to a private banking cartel, in direct violation of the Constitution’s mandate that only Congress has the power to coin money and regulate its value (Article I, Section 8, Clause 5). This resulted in the enslavement of the people under a fraudulent debt-based currency system rather than a system serving the free and sovereign states of the republic.
There has also been a replacement of civic education with misinformation. Public education has failed to teach Americans the truth about our founding documents, our Constitutional Republic, and our rights. A 2017 Annenberg Public Policy Center study found that only 26% of Americans can name the three branches of government, proving the systematic suppression of civic knowledge.
