That is why we got states rights, independent from the federal government, is to protect the nation and its citizens.
he United States operates as a constitutional republic, a form of government that involves representatives elected by the people, who execute their
duties under the constraints of a prevailing constitution that specifies the powers and limits of government.
This is how US constitution stop dictators as long as we have a judicial branch to protect the people.
The centralized government can never become too powerful.
One fundamental principle of a constitutional republic is the protection of minority rights against the potential tyranny of the majority. This
design counters direct democracy, where majority rules could potentially ride roughshod over minority interests. The U.S. Constitution outlines
various checks and balances intended to prevent any single branch of government from gaining absolute power, thereby protecting individual rights from
being infringed upon by majority vote.
Another key element of this governance style is the separation of powers among branches of the government, a system meant to foster a balance of
power. The legislative branch makes laws, the executive branch enforces these laws, and the judiciary interprets them. Each branch operates
independently from the others to prevent any accumulation of power, adhering to the principles laid out by the framers of the Constitution.
US constitution is the base of our nations democracy, it needs to be protected.
