A Nation of Laws, by the people and for the people of for PROFIT?

     "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."      from The Declaration of Independence.   


     What point, in the life of a nation, does it become the Right and Duty of the people to "replace" the current government  with a reformed one? "evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism" what does this really mean? Evinces def:

  1. Reveal the presence of (a quality or feeling). 
  2. Be evidence of; indicate: "man's inhumanity to man as evinced in the use of torture".  
 
   Reveal the presence of or be evidence of a design to reduce them (the american people) absolute Despotism ( a form of government in which a single entity rules with absolute power)

     Are we there yet? What do you think? Is the government still a republic? If they are not then what?

READ - THINK - ACT
