That elects its legal representatives by majority of votes
of the citizens who fufill centrain legal requariements
(i.e, age over 18) and who make the legal decissions on their behalf by a vote of majority.And that my friend is democracy.

Your declaration clearly states who is the decission making soverin with words "We the Poeple" wich clearly points out to the nation.

While the author claims that monarchist woudl be far left,same as nazis wich is bullcrap.Futhermore
parties who are conservatiwe are classified as rightwinged(as it was in french assembly) while the progressive as left wing.

No, this is not correct, you are talking about varying degrees and models of democracy, Yours is an example of the Westminster model, where most matters are decided by democracies, this does not apply to all matters, and it is fairly unusual that a government let the people participate in such a high degree, that is why we elect leaders to decide most matters for us, and your right of free speech can most definativly be taken away...

Every right can be taken away(at leats in theory) as long as the parliment has legal procedures to amend/change the countrys constitution wich provides
legal frames for acts of lower order.

No. I don't know what facts you are refering to, but the author is describing how I and other americans like us view the right and left.

Well that my Good Sir is the crown example of authors fallacy.The political spectrum calsification has its origins from french nationall assemblys where kings supportetrs seated on his right while the oponents on the left.
