What is the difference between liberty and democracy?

Question

Can you have both liberty and democracy or you have to balance between these two

Answer 1

this is the main question your founding father's wrestled with, when they were deciding which form of government to set up to guarantee the freedoms each human being is given by their creator.

The Constitution says  Article 4 Section 4 the federal and state governments will guarantee a Republic form of Government," the pledge "says : I pledge a legency to the flag, of the united statee of america and to the Republic for which it stands. Now do you see any reference to a Democracy!

The difference between a Republic and a Democracy is that in a republic there are certain things that can never be done no matter how many people want to do it! the rights of no individual or groups can ever be removed or diminished because of being unpopular, regardless of how many people vote for it. a Democracy is 51% of the vote can enslave the other 49%, you are strip of your individualism!

Our founding father's hated a pure Democracy because a democracy has never been successful in the history of the world. Mainly because  when people find out that they can vote themselves benifits they end up bankrupty their country ,sounds familiar!.

In a Republic you have ownership of your labor,property,papers but most important you have control over oneself,as long as you do not hunt or damaged someone  or property.

your politicians have stolen your birthright to be free!

you are a consumer not a human being!

you have had your country monies gold and silver taken away!

you have had your law venue taken away!

you have no seperation of powers in government, when most people in congress are lawyers, judges are lawyers and the President is a lawyer and they do not resign their law license since a lawyers oath is first to the bar, then the court!
