Is our government a democracy or a republic? What is the difference? We hear a lot of people in the news talking about our democracy. The term democracy means government by the people, a form of government in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of the people, according to Webster’s 1828 Dictionary.
It was so intentionally wrong. It was an insult to every white American. We fought in wars and died by the hundreds of thousands through history to protect and preserve our documents of origin: Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights.
What is liberty and how is it connected to the Declaration of Independence? The signers of the Declaration of Independence were pursuing liberty. Liberty is freedom from restraint, in a general sense and applicable to the body, or to the will or mind. The body is at liberty when not confined; the will or mind is at liberty when not checked or controlled according to Webster’s 1828 Dictionary.

We might have heard it, casually read it, or it was a previously required school assignment. To consider the dire conditions that spurred this famous document will give us a lot of insight as to why America was birthed.
