<span>Certainly not.

Sovereignty is vested in the people, like a democracy (and unlike a constitutional monarchy), but the people do not rule directly. Instead, they elect representatives, at regular intervals, and these rule in the peoples' stead.

This would ultimately lead to the beginning of the Civil War.</span><span />
