What we should have learned in a Civics Class:
*All democracies have three fundamental characteristics: The independence of the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial powers. These three "independent" bodies are the only guaranties of real freedom of a nation from "usurpation" of political power.
*All such democracies employ the popular-vote to designate their representative to the Executive and Legislative positions, with the exception of the Judiciary (that is nominated by the Executive, but approved by the Legislature).
*All political offices (local, state and national) in a truly democratic nation will be obtained by means of the popular-vote and only the popular-voting process.
*The voting regulations will describe and conduct fair voting-procedures at regular intervals in order to assure the collective consent by means of a popular-vote of the nation's constituents of voting age.
*By "fair voting procedures" is meant:
**No voter with a proper identity card, of a stipulated age, and proving their residence will be forbidden to vote.
**No voting district will be "gerrymandered" to concentrate the vote favoring any political party
**Voting hours and procedures will be fair and honest to accommodate the largest number possible of all voters.
