You see where I used the phrase "most basic and general definition"? Because that's what that is. It doesn't cover the entire complexity of an entire system of government.

Let me see if I can explain it in a way you might understand.

Soda: The most basic and general definition is a carbonated beverage.

If we were to apply your same argumentation here, then you would argue that soda is plain seltzer water, and that's it. Anyone saying Coca Cola is a soda is wrong. Anyone saying a 7up is a soda is wrong. Because if we're going strictly by the definition of soda above, then the only thing that complies is plain seltzer water.

You CAN NOT have a democracy run by the people, but have representatives to rule in their name at the same time.

And that would be like saying you can't have plain seltzer water and flavored carbonated water at the same time and then insist that proves Coca Cola isn't a soda.

Do you really not get this? Seriously. This is not that complicated of a subject.

If we continued with the soda comparison, it would be like the only soda you knew existed was seltzer water, and insisted things like root beer and grape soda weren't sodas...
