How is the US constitutional system remotely relevant in this discussion?
- whimsicalism 5y agoBecause every political system has elements of "authoritarianism"/decisions being made by unelected officials. For instance, we often criticize Iran as being authoritarian, but compared to many of our allies elsewhere, Iran is actually relatively democratic, even if they have authoritarian "checks" just like we do with the Supreme Court.
