Change is the unified force of our actions.
It is only when we choose not to participate that the reverse of progress is possible.
Democracy is the process by which governmental power is politicized by citizens under a free electoral system. Which means if we the people do not exercise our rights to challenge governmental powers to secure our rights under the
constitution, than the electoral system which we knew as free will gradually dismissed our votes.
We are the constitution which constitute the “legal authority underlying the existence of the United States of America and the federal government of the United States”. So if we want change we can’t demand it we have to take it through our actions which are not advocating violence but rather strategic means.
In my humble opinion and with the knowledge of what I've learned about the Constitution, to me it represents a set of laws which specifies the authority of all three branches of our government. These branches are there to execute and enforce the law and we the people are there to make sure of it.
However, what makes the Constitution more valuable is the fact that it's there to direct the people in making decisions that goes in accordance with the law. In a sense, it is the people of a country that gives the constitution value, members of congress are there to uphold those values. However, as we developed to be more knowledgable about life, we ratified the law to suite our purpose. The problem however is when that change is not approved by we the people.
The issues that we are facing today are not surbordinate to one group of people. There are the world issues. As Jacque Fresco said, "There are no negro issues, Jewish issues or women issues, they're human issues". We have to face our issues together otherwise our unified force for change will always lack in strength. It does not matter what our differences are we can alway unite for a common purpose. And that purpose is a complete change of our economic system.
We say "united we stand, divided we fall" and so far we seems to have been falling, because we are so into ourselves that we're not aware of this division. We're so distracted with our niche that we neglect anyone who is not part of it. Our distraction have made us fail to realized that unity is what give birth to change, and that being a democrat or a republican does not add or removed anything from our elected officials.
This is why those with political status are described as
