Replying to Avatar Aurelius

The purpose of the Constitution was to shift power back away from the people…a democracy enacted by the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution reestablished a representative government over a republican government, wherein the only branch of government truly representative of the people would be the House of Representatives.

I don't think the House of Representatives is representative of the people at all. I'm not sure what "the people" even means to be honest.

You’re absolutely right…the House, full of the ultra-rich living off of rents and corporate bribes in exchange for legal favors certainly isn’t representative of the people who labor for their money.

I meant to say the House is the only body directly elected by the people, rather than appointed by another body supposedly representing the people (Senate, President, Sup Court).
