Providence Today | In the Footsteps of Samuel Adams
One of the most important founding fathers was Samuel Adams of Boston. He probably did more than any single American to help ignite the fire that ultimately led to American independence. Dr. Jerry Newcombe takes us on a visit to Boston to walk in the footsteps of this political genius and giant.

Many people today believe that the founding fathers were men of the Enlightenment and, for the most part, not Christians. Furthermore, they believe that the founders intended America to be completely secular. As to the Enlightenment charge, the Enlightenment thinkers the founders quoted were men like Montesquieu, Sir William Blackstone, and John Locke who were all dedicated Christians. As to th...

Some historians today talk about America’s founding fathers as mainly being Deists, who didn’t believe in the Christian God. In other words, unbelievers, not Christians.

We are often told that the founding fathers were essentially Deists. And yet, amazingly, when they sat down to hammer out the Constitution in the summer of 1787, things were difficult at first, but we could say that prayer saved the day. It was one of the least religious of them that strongly suggested it. Dr. Jerry Newcombe takes us back to that fateful day.

    No, the United States did NOT have a president of the United States under the AoC. The Congress had a president, as in a presiding officer, which almost every deliberative or legislative body has. The presiding officer (e.g. Speaker of the House in the US House of Representatives, the President pro tempore in the Senate, the Speaker in the UK Parliament) decides questions of parliamentary order. This is not the head of state. Under the AoC, the US had no president.

    We are OLIGARCHY not a Republic nor democracy. Democracy is a Fake concept. Show me one country where there's Democracy. Nowadays Democracy stipulates that you should close your eyes, shut your mouth and your ears. If you express your opinion then you are guilty of treason or something else like antisemitism. You can loose your job or be arrested and tried and condemned. It is forbidden to criticize Ukraine, NATO, the EU and Israel. But you can always criticize Russia, China and every other country or leader who is not allied to the USA. The American policy stipulates that if you don't accept to be my slave then you are my enemy!!!!

    When you're referring to the form of government, We are a Federalist Constitutional Republic. That is where there are two forms of Government that oversees parts of the country. State governments, and the Federal Government. In the Constitution, the three main elected officials were elected in three different manners. The members of the House of Representatives were elected by popular vote in districts to ensure that the elected official represents a portion of the state to be closest to the people that they govern. The US Senators originally were not elected by popular vote but by the State Legislators. State Legislators were elected by smaller districts than Members of the House of Representatives , the Seventeenth Amendment changed that in 1013. Changing Senators to be elected by popular vote. Use that date as the beginning of change to majority rule The President is elected by the popular vote in 50 states and the District of Columbia. So there are 51 elections. Just as words in a dictionary have multiple meanings and need to be taken in context, a Democracy in one usage in referring to a country that is a Democracy is one that has Regularly Scheduled Competitive Elections. Many countries are Democracies even though their form of government may be a Parliamentary form of Government such as Great Britain. Russia has regularly scheduled elections but since they are not competitive, Russia does not fall into the list of Countries that are considered a Democracy. When you say the US is a Republic, you are referring to the form of the Government. If you say we are a Democracy, as long as you are referring to a country that has regularly scheduled competitive elections, you are correct. Once we no longer have competitive elections because one party attempts to jail their political opponent, then you'd be right we are not a democracy

    The argument that in a (direct) democracy politicians would only pander to the most populous states is at best misleading. It falsely assumes people in the largest states vote as a monolith. Even in liberal or conservative states, a significant portion of the population votes contrary to the majority.

    saying "America isn't a democracy, it's a republic" is like saying "that's not a bird, it's a pigeon." a republic, which is (in its most basic terms) a form of government where elected (in the case of America) representatives vote on behalf of their constituencies, has another name. You know what it is? A **representative DEMOCRACY.** A constitutional republic is a representative democracy whose tenets are bound within a constitutional document. Moreover, while the federal and state governments are mostly republics, which are again, a type of democracy, the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY, well above 95% of all local governments within the US are just straight up democracies with no representation beyond the individual. Sorry gang, but youre just wrong.

    Dont believe a word he says. This guy is working for special interests to undermine voting and the idea of consent of the governed. A representative democracy IS a democracy. The electoral college was a compromise, the same not giving votes to women or slaves. "Democracy is the worst form of government other than all the rest". That's how this quote goes. And majority tyranny is not anywhere near as big a threat to the People as minority government, outlaw rule, or the overthrow of democracy. Rule of gangster and corporate interests over rule of law. Rule of king and olligarchy over the voice of the People. YES! A representative democracy is what happens when a direct democracy is inpractical and unfeasible. Because there's too many people for everyone to take turns helping to govern, like in ancient Athens. (WHICH WORKED!!) The REAL challenge in a representative democracy is how to keep special interests from buying out the People's indirect process. This guy is making an argument for a delegation of authority to electors for one simple reason: its easier to corrupt the process with big money. Which he calls 'more reliable', Lol. As if the threat were too much democracy rather than corrupt elites that dont like ordinary people having a voice. So the REAL question is how do we escape in a representative democracy the burden of special interests that LOATH democracy? The same 1% always investing to make the process of free and fair elections difficult to carry out by the People, the REAL burden. Special interests investing 💰 so much money to corrupt the process, democracy becomes brittle, unreliable, and, ultimately, a lie. STOP GASLIGHTING DEMOCRACY and misquoting Churchill, please.
