I disagree with Bruce Miller in his argument for changing our constitution (“Can we fix our undemocratic Constitution?” Recorder Sept. 14). He talks of democracy, majority rule. Our country is not a democracy. Our country is a democratic republic, big difference.
As a republic, majority does not always rule. The reason for the Electoral College. The college gives less populous states a say in elections. I don’t think the writer intended to ignore these people.
The decisions made by the U.S. Supreme Court are based on our Constitution which is the base of our republic and what has made America what it is. In my opinion, it is the government that has caused more harm to people than any other entity.
It is not our Constitution that is flawed, it is those in power.
