HERE IS THE CURRENT LIST OF PROPOSALS GOING BEFORE LEGISLATOR IN CALIFORNIA – IT IS SHOCKING WHAT GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO BE INVOLVED IN.
WE THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE – WE DO NOT WANT A KING – WE ARE A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.
[W]e may define a republic to be, or at least may bestow that name on, a government which derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people, and is administered by persons holding their offices during pleasure, for a limited period, or during good behavior. It is ESSENTIAL to such a government that it be derived from the great body of the society, not from an inconsiderable proportion, or a favored class of it; . . . It is SUFFICIENT for such a government that the persons administering it be appointed, either directly or indirectly, by the people; and that they hold their appointments by either of the tenures just specified[.]3 James Madison emphasizes popular sovereignty and majoritarian control as among the distinctive characters of the republican form
