I'm going to do a special episode today on the question of, is the United States a democracy

or a republic?

I'm going to try to consider that question sort of in-depth.

Some of the questions I'll explore along the way, why do majorities have a right to rule?

What distinguishes ancient from modern democracy?

Why English democracy, the democracy we kind of inherited from England, gave virtually

unlimited power to parliament.

How Madison and the Founders dealt with the problem of tyranny of the majority.

And I'll conclude by summarizing what kind of society America was designed to be.

And I'm going to sort of pose the conflict of visions, the two rival ways whose resolution

will determine our country's future.

America needs this voice.

The times are crazy, and the time of confusion, division, and lies.

We need a brave voice of reason, understanding, and truth.

This is the Dineshthuses podcast.

Is America a democracy or are we a republic?

This is a question that I've been hearing about really for many years.

And sometimes I'll also speak of American democracy.

Inevitably, I'll get through the website or, you know, P.S. somewhere, Dineshth.

I like your podcast and all, but I just want to tell you, America's not a democracy,

we're a republic.
