Florida Supreme Court Quote

There are four (4) Terms that are misused, confused and otherwise incorrectly abused - by an extremely terse term explanation.

DEMOCRACY:

Democracy is: “That form of government in which the sovereign power is exercised by the people in a body,” (Bouvier’s Law Dictionary) Democracy can not perceive or identify a single person or individual (inclusive of the rights, liberty or law thereof) - its domain or realm is solely limited to recognizing an inorganic whole’s ostensively supposed will. By democracy’s definition and practice, there is no individual sovereignty, personal rights, liberty, nature’s law or anything outside a mobs will. Attributed to Benjamin Franklin is a quote that describes democracy well: “Democracy is 2 wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for supper. Freedom is a well armed lamb contesting the vote.”

DEMOCRATIC PROCESS:

Democratic process describes a procedurally measured system that maintains “A series of actions, motions, or occurrences; a method, mode, or operation, whereby a result or effect to produced.” (West’s Encyclopedia of American Law, ed. 2.) A “democratic process” may be useful in a democracy, a republic or a republican form government (it is NOT exclusive to democracy). A “democratic process” also simply indicates, one (1) man, one (1) vote (no reference to outcome, form of government {democracy, monarchy, republican, de facto, de jure, etc.}) or, choice between liberty or slavery.

REPUBLIC:

A Republic is primarily separated into ostensibly differing references. By example:
1) A “republic” is “A commonwealth; that form of government in which the administration of affairs is open to all the citizens.”
2) “In another sense, it signifies the state, independently of its form of government.” (Bouvier’s Law Dictionary)
A democracy perceives a/the “body” - people or otherwise are an inconsequential annoyance only required for voting; while, a republic administers the affairs of each citizen.
3) A republic can also be the term that describes the specific boarder (boundaries) of a particular jurisdiction, not denoting any system of body politic application.

REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT:

A republican form of government is an egalitarian based system where individual sentient sovereigns exercise personal inalienable rights and liberty at “the laws of nature and of nature’s God” (Declaration of Independence). A resulting consortium, as a body politic (hired, elected or otherwise) has no rights but duties only AND, does (do) NOT represent any individual (personally or in concert) but rather, is to administer a limited “legislative”, “executive” and “judicial” charge of inalienable rights and liberty at the laws of nature and of nature’s God.
