NOTE:We often﻿﻿ hear﻿﻿﻿ the﻿﻿ claim﻿ that﻿﻿﻿ our nation﻿﻿ is﻿ a democracy.﻿ That﻿ wasn't﻿ the﻿ vision﻿ of﻿﻿ the founders.﻿ They﻿ saw﻿﻿ democracy as﻿﻿ another﻿ form﻿ of﻿﻿﻿ tyranny.﻿ If﻿﻿ we've﻿ become﻿﻿ a﻿ democracy,﻿ I﻿﻿ guarantee﻿﻿ you that﻿ the﻿ founders﻿ would be﻿﻿﻿ deeply﻿ disappointed﻿ by﻿﻿ our betrayal﻿﻿ of﻿﻿ their vision.﻿ The﻿ founders﻿ intended,﻿﻿ and﻿﻿﻿ laid﻿﻿ out﻿ the ground rules,﻿﻿ for﻿ our﻿﻿ nation﻿ to be﻿ a﻿﻿﻿ republic﻿ The﻿﻿ word "democracy" appears﻿﻿ nowhere in﻿ the﻿ Declaration﻿ of﻿﻿﻿﻿ Independence﻿ or﻿ the﻿ Constitution﻿ — two﻿ most fundamental documents of﻿﻿ our﻿ nation. Instead﻿ of﻿﻿ a﻿ democracy, the﻿﻿ Constitution's﻿ Article﻿﻿ IV,﻿ Section﻿ 4,﻿﻿ guarantees﻿ "to every﻿ State in﻿ this Union a﻿﻿ Republican﻿﻿ Form﻿ of Government." Moreover, let's﻿﻿ ask﻿﻿﻿ ourselves: Does our pledge﻿ of﻿﻿ allegiance﻿ to﻿ the flag say to﻿﻿﻿﻿ "the democracy﻿﻿ for﻿ which﻿ it﻿﻿﻿ stands,"﻿﻿﻿ or﻿ does﻿ it﻿ say to "the republic for which it﻿ stands"?﻿ Or do we﻿ sing﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿ "The﻿﻿ Battle Hymn﻿﻿﻿ of﻿ the Democracy"﻿﻿ or﻿ "The﻿ Battle Hymn of﻿﻿ the Republic"?
