Wrong. The U.S. is a federalized constitutional republic.
Yep. And that could well be because the noses of the politic in power's noses weren't kept to the grindstone of The Constitution...
Try reading this instead of Rousseau:
With special attention to the concept "Tyranny of the Majority".
Tocqueville speculates on the future of democracy in the United States, discussing possible threats to democracy and possible dangers of democracy. These include his belief that democracy has a tendency to degenerate into "soft despotism" as well as the risk of developing a tyranny of the majority.
We are at this point with our current political system.
So, since we've established that the mob is the source of privileges, where do rights come from?Did you really say that?
Do you understand what the word "consent" implies?
If I need "general consensus or consent" from this mythical "society" then we're talking about privileges, not rights.
Okay. then they are privileges.

Natural Rights is a fallacy. It is a made up notion. If they come from anywhere, rights come from imagination.
If anything takes imagination, it's this unquantifiable "society" thingy you've been talking about.So, since we've established that the mob is the source of privileges, where do rights come from?Okay. then they are privileges.

They're more interested in that "case law" thing...IOW, what they can get away with.Yep. And that could well be because the noses of the politic in power's noses weren't kept to the grindstone of The Constitution...
In other words? *WE* let them get away with it.

Like it or not (and you obviously don't), the American republic is based upon a deist view of the world.God doesn't exist?
You've evidence that your deity exists? Publish it in Science and get back after your experiments and conclusions have bee reviewed.
Thanks for proving that the entire concept is a theological one based in religion.
