Whatever the people decide. That's why we have democracy.
- tomcam 4y agoI don’t know who your “we” is, but in the USA it is precisely why we do not have a democracy. We have a republic in the USA. The Senate and electoral college help temper the intoxicating effects that a pure democracy would produce .
- colinmhayes 4y ago> we do not have a democracy Republics are a type of democracy.
- tomcam 4y agoIn a taxonomy of government types, sure. Practically speaking, the difference between a pure democracy and a republic is enormous. The framers of the constitution were explicitly aware of this.
