Which one did our founder feel was needed in this country to make it function better than all other governments of the time?

Still manipulating terms I see, and you also forgot to add one more response to your poll "Constitutional Republic". Capitalism is a an economic issue, so if you are going to give it something to be compared to and then ask people on here to answer a poll about it you should at least add what is opposite of capitalism, and that would be socialism. Being that our founding was based on freedom and the right to pursue happiness I would have to say that capitalism is more important to our founding, socialism restrains entrepreneurs which is exactly what the founders did not want government to do to the people.
So your poll should ask, what is more important to our founding?

1) Capitalism
2) Socialism

See, it's not that hard if you really want to put up an honest poll without all the trickery.
 
I bet not one right leaning poster can answer this one without it blowing up in their faces.


its at the VERY base of the founders plan and some dont respect the founders in reality

Who are the "Some" that you speak of? Can you name anyone significant that really matters? Or is it just another lefty strawman?
 
Why do you ignore the very definitions of the words?

Why do you do that?

The terms have meant what they ahve meant for their entire exsistance.

You dont get to change that for some unnamed poltical reason.



The words dont belong to your party change at a whim.
As the Founders understood it, "democracy" was essentially mob rule, as they witnessed in their own lifetimes over in France. None of the Founding Fathers referred to the American form of government as a democracy. Upon leaving the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked specifically what form of government the convention had left Americans with. Franklin, who was keenly aware of what a democracy was and was not, answered "a republic." Regardless of how political scientists today want to categorize things, or how much progressives want to distort our language and rewrite our past, the Founders explicitly avoided creating a democracy, opting for a republic instead.

Twisting the definition of words is a Lefty speciality.
 
Its my poll make your own.


The right in the US seems to think that capitalism is more important than democracy.


I was trying to find out if that was indeed true.



Capitalism exsisted before our country exsisted.


Democracy had not for many years.


If Capitalism was the aim of our founders they didnt need to set up this new experiment in Democracy did they?


The created a Democratic government for us.


They obviously thought the people needed some power to control the capitalism that already exsisted.

Will you accept the fact that the Democracy you read about them discussing was direct democracy?

Or will you join the lies

Honesty is something that TruthDon'tMatter has serious issues with... honesty - and truth. I'm sure she could give you the dictionary definition of both, but understand them.... no, she does not.
 
why do you retain ideas that force you to deny facts to continue to hold?


Why not find some ideas that may actually work?

We have been asking progressives that for a very long time, they just don't get it though, they continue the downhill slide of economic collapse everytime they get the chance to, as we are witnessing right now.

Yes, the right of individuals to engage in mutually agreed-upon transactions in a free market is more important than the privilege of casting a vote. The Founders thought so. Conservatives think so. You should think so too.
