Summary

'Democracy' is a word used all the time in the halls of government, in our schools and throughout America in the course of conversation. But America isn't a democracy nor was it set up that way. The words of the founding fathers and the Constitution they crafted makes it clear that from the very beginning of America, we were never intended to be a 'democracy.' The founders hated democracy and today we make that case! Follow on X: @KeithMalinak More At The Mic episodes at ATMshow.com
