Democracy

Boy: "My teacher said that America is the greatest democracy on earth. Is that true?"

Father: "No."

Boy: "No?"

Father: "America is not a democracy. It's a republic." [1] [1b]

Boy: 'What's the difference?"

Father: "In a democracy, what the citizens want trumps the constitution. For example, in a democracy, if 70% of the citizens want gun control laws, then gun control laws will be created by lawmakers even if the constitution prohibits it. In a republic, even if 90% of the citizens want gun control laws, those laws will not be created if the constitution prohibits it."

Boy: "Wow. I wonder why my teacher said that America is a democracy?"

His teacher said that America is a democracy because America has been Jewed [2].

[1] America is a White republic according to a 1790 U.S. immigration law: Act of March 26, 1790 (1 Stat 103-104):
"That any alien, being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years..."
