"Allow a moment to review our structure of government, starting with the state. An appropriate definition of a state is “a politically unified people occupying a definite territory; nation”.
The original 13 colonies were diverse in religion and commerce. For examples, Maryland residents were chiefly Catholic. New Englanders were chiefly Puritans, Virginians chiefly Anglican, and Baptists generally lived in the southern colonies.
Religion, more than any other characteristic, defined the 13 colonies as a “politically unified people”.
After ratification of the 1787 Constitution, those unique values and characteristics remained with the fledgling states.
The keystone of the union of the Federation of states created by the present-day U.S. Constitution is found in Article I, Section 3 which states: “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.”
The first 13 and the 37 later added were a federation of equals. The senators from the least populous state had as much authority as the senators from the most populous.
Those senators were accountable to the members of the respective state legislatures (law-making bodies) and the state legislators were – and are today – accountable to the residents of the states. Did you notice the past tense verb ‘were’?
Another keystone clause that remains in place is found in Article IV, Section 4 which states: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government…”
Within 126 years after the signing of the present-day U.S. Constitution, the history of our country was lost to We the People who decided they preferred a democracy over a republic. Well, they didn’t actually say so, but it was ignorance of history that led to the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913 – 105 years ago next month.
Since 1913, our country has swiftly undergone a metamorphosis from that prescribed Republican form of government into a democracy.
Democracy can best be described as mob rule. Oligarchies typically lead mobs. Contemporary tags for the present-day oligarchy is “The Swamp” and “The Deep State”. Federalization, that is the encroachment of federal government into state affairs is nearly complete. The federal government today operates beyond its constitutional boundaries (enumerated powers), intruding in practically every aspect of our lives, effectively rendering the Tenth Amendment null and void. ..."

YES!
So many unconstitutional 'laws.'
Yes!
This is so valuable to those here, still young.
Someone I know made DVD's of himself reciting the Constitution.
He made them and handed them out for free to listen to in your car.
He was a great, objective patriot.

I am sorry for the death of fellow patriot Jim D. - R.I.P. !!!
And yes, we have to gear up to get more educated, especially the young.
I am living in Germany and after the war the allies had a strong hand in forming our Germany, but they were also wise and shaped our Grundgesetz according to your constitution (but not totally). Therefore we are also a Federal Republic and not a Democracy.
But there are strong forces to take away the federal aspect and also stating daily that Germany is a Democracy - which is false. I did not knew it myself, only some months ago.
In a Republic the basis is THE RULE OF LAW! In a Democracy THE RULE OF THE the majority = the MOB. Which is totally open for propaganda, indoctrination and lies. As we learned since 2020 via the hard way!

based on what we have today, our Republican form of govt is long lost. Today's legislative bodies consistently put forth bills they know to be UnConstitutional. Moreover, these bills are written by lobbyists. Check the last 20 years worth of fed laws and policies, are there any organically formed ones or do they all favor/apply to corps/ind who lobby DC. What this past year has shown me so clearly is that we don't need the fed; their dismantling might save the Republic.
It is long lost, but to remove the 17th amendment would be a big step forward back to the constitution.
Repealing the 17 is the key,this was talked about a lot 20 years ago on the boards.
