<span>Certainly not. The United States has never, since its founding, consisted of a small number of citizens, still less of citizens that could practically assemble in one place at one time and debate their actions. A pure democracy in this classical Greek city-state sense was never practical, and was not seriously considered.
 
What the Framers created was a constitutional representative republic. 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. Their powers are limited, first, by the fact that they are elected for only short terms, and must be re-elected if they wish to continue in power, and secondly, and much more importantly, by the Constitution itself, which puts express written limits on their powers even between elections.</span>

In which way did the Vietnam War and the Korean War end differently?
fomenos
  The Vietnam War ended with the French pulling out and later the U.S. pulling out after the Vietcong (VC) overran Saigon (we lost Vietnam because of MANY reasons but we never sustained a victory)                                                              The Korean War ended with a "Cease Fire" from both sides (nobody really won it was more less a draw)                                                                                  Conclusion = Vietnam, We lost   Korea, Nobody won nor lost.

Answer:

It's Mayflower Compact words inside

Explanation:

For the glory of God, to strengthen the Christian faith, and to enhance the honor of our king and our country, we crossed the oceans and developed the first colony in northern Virginia. We signed an oath before God and voluntarily formed a self-governing group of people. In order to enable the above-mentioned purposes to be better implemented, maintained and developed, we will formulate and promulgate laws, regulations, ordinances, charters and public offices that are considered to be the most suitable and convenient for all the people of this colony. Ensure compliance and obedience.
