One more time: Actual Democracy

We are all equal before the law or there are special people.  America and Trump believe in special people. The Constitution holds a big conrodiction: 5th and 14th Amendments say no person can be deprived due process of law or the equal protection of the law. The first and second article declare that the legislative power of America resides in the Congress and the Representatives in the House will be elected by their constituents and Senators will be elected by State legislatures (later change to direct election by amendment). Article two says the President will enforce the laws and be elected by an electoral college. Judges are appointed by the Executive. No citizen votes for the laws  they under. No citizen votes for the Executive officers, No citizen votes for Federal Judges.

We are denied the right to choose laws, to choose Representatives, to choose judges. Consequently, the citizens are denied the right to govern themselves. Does due process of law include having a say in making, executing, and interpreting the laws? Certainly not in America. Mankind is not wise enough to govern itself. There are special people, Representatives and Executive officers and  Judges. They are asserted to be able to govern us, because, simply, they are special, superior, people.  There is no equality before the law when 538 + 2 + 9 =549 people make the laws, execute the laws, and interpret the laws. If two heads are better than one then 200 million voting age citizens are better than 549 people. On man, one vote, only for other men to pick Executives, judges, and the laws.  Throughout history Representatives have betrayed their constituencies and robbed them, accepted bribes of power and money, and caused revolutions. Revolutions put in new Representatives, who got corrupted, and brought another revolution. With one more Amendment to the Constitution we can cut off the need for the coming revolution: see: assocactualdmocracy.com.
