<span>In order for a bill to be presented to the President for signature, it must pass both the House and Senate in the exact same form. The device used for reaching agreement between the two Houses is often, but not always, a conference committee. Sometimes differences between the two bodies are resolved by amendment — e.g., the House will agree to the bill as passed by the Senate with an amendment and the Senate will subsequently concur with that amendment.</span>
Republics are necessary for limited governance. Given that individuals frequently don't use the voting booth for governmental tasks, democracy truly doesn't work well with a limited government.
They sell their votes to politicians who will pay the greatest price for them, and they exploit the government to get an endless supply of free things.
A democracy will start to ignore the rule of law when systematic thievery becomes the norm because it must in order to exist, no matter how severe the corruption. When the next check comes is all that matters.
