Continued irrational reasoning... You must clear your paradox...Hogwash, nonsense, absolutely untrue. Any country with a constitution is a country based on the rule of law. Being a democracy does not change that fact.
Inversion Fallacy. This is what you are doing.You are completely telling things that are not correct.
So?Again, total nonsense. The 3 main separate forms of government are republic, monarchy or dictatorship.
"representative democracy" is not found in the US Constitution.You have heard of the term representative democracy? AKA the first article of the US constitution?
Nope. A republic is rule by law.Nonsense, a republic means the head of state is a president. Not that it has a constitution. Monarchies have constitutions too.
I delete holy links on site as well, especially Wikipedia, as Wikipedia is too often poorly written and too often contains much misinformation. Pretty much anyone can edit Wikipedia, which also creates issues....deleted 'holy link'...
Wikipedia does not define the word republic, nor any word for that matter. You are making an Appeal to False Authority fallacy.
We are talking about America, not China.Even the frigging commies in China have a constitution and that is a communist dictatorship and does not have proper rule of law IMHO.
Inversion Fallacy. This is your problem, not mine.You are totally making things up as you go along.
Republic means rule of law. Republics have constitutions. Being a federated republic means that there are multiple layers of republics (such as state, local, federal, like we have in America).Republic just means that the countries head of state is a president and the federate just says something about how centralized power is in a country.
Yes, the USA is a republic. It is specifically a federated republic. Texas is a republic, Wisconsin is a republic, Tennessee is a republic, Dane County is a republic, Washington County is a republic... ... ... ... ... That is why the USA is a federated republic. Federated means several layers... A democracy doesn't have several layers like that... A democracy is mob rule (rule of men).And the US has several states that make up 1 republic, not several layers of republic, it has several layers of government, local, state and federal.
I'm interested in your arguments, not someone elses....deleted 'holy link'...
Inversion Fallacy. This is what you are doing, not me.And you are still making no sense/telling things that are untrue.
No, there can't be. That is arguing a paradox. They are two completely different things, as I have described. You are continuing to argue irrationally since you refuse to clear your paradox. Ignoring paradoxes do not make them go away...Of course you can be a democracy and a republic at the same time. To claim something different is just made nonsense.
...deleted 'lack of intelligence' mantra... deleted 'holy definition'...
Yeah. So?Really? There is no such thing as a democratic republic? There are several countries who has democratic republic in their name, democratic republic of Algeria, democratic republic of Congo, democratic republic of Laos, democratic republic of Nepal.
No it is not. It is a federated republic.The US congress is a form of representative democracy.
