Constitutional Democracy

In a CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY the authority of the majority is limited by legal and institutional means so that the rights of individuals and minorities are respected. This is the form of democracy practiced in Germany, Israel, Japan, the United States, and other countries.

I. WHAT ARE THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY?

CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY is the antithesis of arbitrary rule. It is democracy characterized by:

A. POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY. The people are the ultimate source of the authority of the government which derives its right to govern from their consent.

B. MAJORITY RULE AND MINORITY RIGHTS. Although "the majority rules," the fundamental rights of individuals in the minority are protected.

C. LIMITED GOVERNMENT. The powers of government are limited by law and a written or unwritten constitution which those in power obey.

D. INSTITUTIONAL AND PROCEDURAL LIMITATIONS ON POWERS. There are certain institutional and procedural devices which limit the powers of government. These may include:

1. SEPARATED AND SHARED POWERS. Powers are separated among different agencies or branches of government. Each agency or branch has primary responsibility for certain functions such as legislative, executive, and judicial functions. However, each branch also shares these functions with the other branches.

2. CHECKS AND BALANCES. Different agencies or branches of government have adequate power to check the powers of other branches. Checks and balances may include the power of judicial reviewÀ"Àthe power of courts to declare actions of other branches of government to be contrary to the constitution and therefore null and void.

3. DUE PROCESS OF LAW. Individual rights to life, liberty, and property are protected by the guarantee of due process of law.

4. LEADERSHIP SUCCESSION THROUGH ELECTIONS. Elections insure that key positions in government will be contested at periodic intervals and that the transfer of governmental authority is accomplished in a peaceful and orderly process.

BS.Indians in North Dakota are qualified to vote as long as they are properly registered to do so. They must have a street address in North Dakota to register. No one is preventing blacks in Georgia from voting.

No, she deserved it. She is going around claiming that some microbit of her DNA is Indian. It's a ridiculous argument. She and the press are making a big deal out of it. It's a ridiculous argument. Trump is just making fun of it. They deserve it.

I've never met a really intelligent Trump supporter.

Still haven't.

"Government of the People, by the People, for the People."

But this joker will deny that Lincoln said any such thing. He's trolling.

Lincoln wasn't entirely accurate. He did not organize the government of the United States either.

Each State has a constitution that is put together by the people. That document is what creates the State in the first place. It defines and authorizes the State government certain powers.
Each State is the owner of the federal constitution. They wrote it. They give the federal government certain powers through that document. This is what is meant by Lincoln's remarks.

We are not a democracy. We are a federated republic.

How do North Dakota Native Americans not qualify to vote?

Can we drop the "North Dakota native" crap and just ask "How do Americans not qualify to vote? Then look at the laws and answer that question for yourself. Try to walk onto a reservation and vote in a tribal election without being able to identify yourself as a member of the tribe. EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD HAVE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES TO VOTE! EVERYONE!
