>Yet we have a form of government that gives unchecked authority to a group of people
Where is this mythical form of government you're referring to? We haven't had a government that followed the constitution since the late 1800s. There is no 'unchecked authority' because the constitution forbids it. The government is treasonous and has been for 100 years. Our founding fathers are rolling in their grave that we didn't lynch these traitors decades ago.
