Hold the phone there, Chief !
'They' will call Chyna, "The People's Republic"
But 'They' don't call the USA a 'Constitutional Republic'
Why does it feel like government is unlimited and that our "representatives" only care about their own financial interests?
The Republic still exists. However, our parents registered us over to the state. We are now franchises of the corporation of the united states. Until we opt out, we are governed by corporate bylaws and enjoy none of the privelages of the founding docs.. It's confirmed by case law. Until you change your status from citizen to State National, you will be governed by corporate or maritime law.
"The right to trial by jury in civil cases, guaranteed by the 7th Amendment... and the right to bear arms guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment...have been distinctly held not to be privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States guaranteed by the 14th Amendment...and in effect the same decision was made in respect of the guarantee against prosecution, except by indictment of a grand jury, contained in the 5th Amendment..and in respect of the right to be confronted with witnesses, contained in the 6th Amendment. it was held that the indictment, made indispensable by the 5th Amendment, and trial by jury guaranteed by the 6th Amendment, were not privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, as those words were used in the 14th Amendment. We conclude, therefore, that the exemption from compulsory self incrimination is not a privilege or immunity of National [Federal] citizenship guaranteed by this clause of the 14th Amendment." Twining v. New Jersey, 211 US 78, 98-99
The conclusions you’re drawing from that case are all wrong - the holding was basically that the Fifth Amendment protected against self incrimination in federal proceedings, it didn’t protect citizens in state proceedings (e.g., the Bill of Rights is a list of things the Federal Government cannot do, but doesn’t apply to the various State Governments).
Importantly, Twining was overruled by Mallory v. Hogan, 378 US 1 (1964), so I wouldn’t cite it to support anything.
That Twining ruling always bothered me. It strikes me as an example of Judges selectively picking from the Constitution to justify their decision. Article IV specifically states that the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land and all judges in all states must abide by it.
The Bill of Rights, though, was adopted as a firewall against only the Federal government - the first amendment for example provides only that “Congress shall make no laws respecting the establishment of religion . . . “ and does not address State legislatures.
Later, through the 14th Amendment, SCOTUS eventually held that the 14 amendment requires the states are bound by almost all of the bill of rights.

I hereby cancel all contracts implied without my express consent. Any contracts stating or claiming my ownership other than of self are canceled.
How does that look ?
This has always been a pet peeve of mine. Normies have had the word democracy flooded into their brains and it's disgusting.
You can find the word democracy in Federalist Paper #10. It talks about why the founders didn't want a democracy.

Though a republic that doesn't have fair elections isn't going to work well either.
The 'democracy' that liberal/communists are screaming about means Cal., DC and NY City RULE over America, nothing else.
Democracy is mob rule. Every time they say "our democracy is in jeopardy" they're saying "our mob rule is in jeopardy". And that's exactly how they mean it. They're basically the party of united mobs.
