"A few weeks ago I spoke at a conference in Oslo. One of the panelists pointed out that civil society has already generated many good ideas to defend #democracy. This is precisely the purpose of the #CoE_WFD and now it is time to put words into action" - Bjørn BERG, Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe. #CoE_WFD

Ever wondered about the true nature of America's government? 🇺🇸 While we often hear "democracy" in conversations, the United States is actually a constitutional republic. The distinction matters because: Democracy: Direct rule by the people, where the majority makes the decisions. Constitutional Republic: We elect representatives to make decisions on our behalf, with a constitution that limits government power and protects individual rights.

I have seen these signs around the state, granted mostly in Democrat/Progressive counties and Urban Areas. We (the United States of America”) are not a “democracy”! We are a “Constitutional Republic”. Here is the difference: By definition, a republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority. Although these forms of government are often confused, they are quite different. The main difference between a republic and a democracy is the charter or constitution that limits power in a republic, to protect the individual's rights against the will of the majority. #nmpol #nmlegis #nmhd61
