The American government is different. It is a combined Republic and Democracy. The government is the Democracy. The Republic is the people in their man/woman capacity. The examples in the article do not fit America. | In America, even the contracts and agreements that the people make with government are only made between 'persons' that the people control (4th Amendment), and government. It's all artificial entities, and government's authorization to do their part is because of the Contract Clause. | When government messes with your persons (4th Amendment) without your authorization, the government people can't hide behind their office, because they are men/women, and can be sued as such for harming you and damaging you, by messing with your private persons.
