We Are NOT a Democracy!

I am sick nearly to death of hearing everyone from Presidents and other politicians to the head of NPR News to regular, run of the mill rummies calling the United States a democracy.  The Founders and Framers knew that democracy is just a polite term for mob rule.  They also knew that true democracy was virtually physiologically impossible.
 
 
Written into Article IV of the U.S. Constitution is the statement "The United States shall guarantee... a Republican form of government."  Sorry, Demoncats and Dummycraps.  But on the bright side of it for you uneducated dumb masses, that has nothing to do with the Republican/Repulsican/ Rebooblican political party.  It simply means that an eligible electorate will choose by majority vote, fellow citizens to represent the constituency of the whole, to make law and decide direction to be taken relative to issues of the day, also by majority vote.
A true democracy would be a socio-economic system in which the entire eligible electorate would vote on every proposed law and issue of governance from dedicating a new post office or park, to approving or disapproving political appointees, to declaring war.  Through the contemporary technology of 'smart phones', that could be done in modern day America.  We could continue to elect our governmental officials as we already do, to devote their full time and energy to the business of governing, creating bills and composing declarations that they would approve or reject by majority vote.  At that point, each eligible voter would receive messages from his or her congressman/woman, senators, justices, vice-president and/or president, explaining the issue at hand. Then each of us would enter our vote of acceptance or disapproval, with the majority opinion prevailing, so that the result would be pretty much instantaneously known with electronic readouts and printed hard copies of each vote at both ends of the process.  That would, of course, require really smart smart phones equipped with small printers.  
The trouble with that, however lies in the often needed necessity for secrecy and dispatch, particularly in diplomatic decisions and military matters.  It would also lend itself to a mob mentality of the majority trampling the rights of a minority, by ignoring rule of law.
All in all, our form of constitutional, democratic republican form of governance has worked well for two centuries and three decades.  We should probably keep it, pretty much as is.  We could tweak a few things for the twenty-first century.  In the Preamble, change the word "welfare" to "prosperity". Do away with the Senate.  Declare that law shall be uniform throughout the country, based on the four components principle of criminality of perpetrator, victim, demonstrable loss or harm, and force or fraud.  Improve the wording of the First Amendment's religion clause to address the individual's right to peaceably and personally practice his or her belief system, rather than the rights of a collectivist church.  Delete the archaic mention of militia in the Second Amendment. Directly elect the president and vice-president, as we do and would continue to do with our congressional representatives.  That would entail ensuring the absence of electoral fraud by dead Dummycraps/ Demoncats and otherwise ineligible persons voting.
